Ws. Oh et al., AN INVESTIGATION OF THE TEMPLATE EFFECTS IN THE SYNTHESIS OF MONOBENZO-15-CROWN-5 ETHER BY MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATION, Chemistry Letters, (3), 1996, pp. 181-182
The molecular dynamics simulations of the template effects of alkali m
etal cations for the synthesis of monobenzo-15-crown-5 were performed.
The simulation results qualitatively duplicate the experimental resul
ts and Na+ ion was found to be the best template ion among alkali meta
l cations.
