K. Matsumoto et al., SYNTHESIS OF DIAZATHIA 15-CROWN AND 18-CROWN ETHERS AND THEIR TRANSPORT-PROPERTIES FOR METAL-CATIONS, Heterocycles, 47(1), 1998, pp. 101-106
A new series of the diazathia 15- and 18-crown ethers were prepared by
high pressure SNAr reaction, in which various heteroaromatics were di
rectly connected to their nitrogens. Liquid membrane transport studies
demonstrated that the diazathia 18-crown ethers having benzothiazole,
benzoxazole,and pyridine rings on their sidearms exhibited Hg2+ and A
g+ ion selectivity.
