Abstract

Novel structures of penta-crown ethers were successfully synthesized from trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) with 2-aminomethyl crown ether; further reaction with 1-aza crown ethers, through Michael addition, furnished the newly synthesized host compounds of penta-crown ethers, which were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and IR spectroscopy as well as FABMS and elemental analyses. The binding interaction of the new penta-crown ethers with alkali metal cations was studied through ¹H NMR spectroscopy and UV spectroscopy.

Key words

2-aminomethyl crown ether - 1-aza-crown ether - penta-crown ether - Michael addition
