Abstract
A convenient method for the synthesis of bis-(4-alkyl-2-hydroxyphenoxy ) alkoxy ethers, precursors to highly lipophilic, alkylbenzo-substitut ed crown ethers, is described. Thirteen isomerically-pure, bis-t-alkyl benzo crown ethers were prepared. The solid-state structures of three representative, bis-t-octylbenzo crown ethers are reported, representi ng the first structures ever reported for t-octylbenzocrown ethers.
