H. Hara et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BIS[1.1.1]ORTHOCYCLOPHANO-18-CROWN-6 COMPOUNDS, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (7), 1996, pp. 741-745
Two novel macrocyclic compounds 5S and 5A combining an 18-crown-6 and
two cyclotriveratrylenes were synthesized by means of two methods from
dibenzo-18-crown-6. The conformational isomers were separated using c
omplexation with KSCN and their stereostructures were determined on th
e basis of H-1 NMR spectroscopic and thermal equilibration studies.
