Synthesis and Cesium Binding Affinity of New 25,27-Bis(alkyloxy)calix[4]arene-crown-6 Conformers in Relation to the Alkyl Pendent Moiety
2002
The preparation of new 25,27-bis(alkyloxy)calix[4]arenes-crown-6 in the cone, partial-cone and 1,3-alternate conformation is reported. We have also investigated the alkylation of the cone monoalkylated calix[4]arene-crown-6 achieved using Cs 2 CO 3 . This reaction afforded a mixture of cone and partial-cone calix[4]arenes-crown-6 having an alkyl chain anti or syn to the polyether ring. Conformations have been probed using 1 H, 13 C, 2D-NMR and NOESY analysis, and using X-ray crystallography. Extraction experiments using a two-phase solvent method involving cesium picrate were performed for these newly synthesized conformers. They reveal and confirm the strong preference for the 1,3-alternate conformers. The affinity of 1,3-alternate calixarenes for Cs + has been assessed by complexation measurements (log g ) using a spectrophotometric technique. No significant Cs + extraction difference was observed in relation to the nature of the alkyl chains on the aromatic rings. 1 H NMR studies of the 1,3-alternate c...
