Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The enantiomers of the chiral 2,3-diphenyl- and 2, 3-11,12-tetraphenyl derivatives were obtained in single step reactions from readily available chiral precursors, (RR)- and (SS)-hydrobenzoins, followed by bulk isolations of the pure 18-crown-6 derivatives via their 1:1 crystalline complexes with potassium nitrate or calcium nitrate as mentioned in this paper.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the first encouraging steps towards the fulfilment of a long-standing research goal aimed at turning the chemistry of laterally fused six-membered rings through 90° were reported.
Abstract: This article relates the first encouraging steps towards the fulfilment of a long-standing research goal aimed at turning the chemistry of laterally-fused six-membered rings through 90° ... or, more specifically, the making of (i) beltenes, in which 1,4-cyclohexadiene rings are linked in a polycyclic array by lateral fusion through their carbon-carbon double bonds, (ii) collarenes, in which alternating benzene and 1,4-cyclohexadiene rings are fused to form macropolycyclic hydrocarbons and (iii) cyclacenes, which may be considered as two annulenes joined to each other by carbon-carbon single bonds between every other atom around the annulene rings. The synthesis of the key macropolycyclic compound, which is a potential precursor of [12]beltene and [12]collarene, exploits the amazing stereoelectronic control that exists in the Diels-Alder reaction between a bisdiene and a bisdienophile with the appropriate structural features and reactivity characteristics.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The X-ray crystal structure of the hexaoxacyclophane (1), which can be synthesized from 1,3-bis(bromomethyl)benzene and bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) ether in one step, reveals that in the solid state the macrocyclic ring forms a large molecular void potentially capable of binding aromatic guest molecules.
Abstract: The X-ray crystal structure of the hexaoxacyclophane (1), which can be synthesized from 1,3-bis(bromomethyl)benzene and bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) ether in one step, reveals that in the solid state the macrocyclic ring forms a large molecular void potentially capable of binding aromatic guest molecules: the X-ray crystal structure of the 1 : 1 molecular complex formed between (1) and benzene exposes intermolecular and intercomplex aromatic ring interactions of an edge-to-face type.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The polyether-bridged hexaoxacyclophane (3) has been shown by X-ray crystallography to include a CH2Cl2molecule within its molecular cavity as mentioned in this paper.
