Abstract

While methodologies for the construction of crown ethers continue to generate considerable interest in synthetic chemistry, their synthesis is often inefficient, [3] as cyclization is always accompanied by side process of polycondensation. This means that macrocyclization reactions had to be fast in order to maintain a very low concentration of reactants. Among the general strategies for ring closure, the high dilution principle, [13] the template method [3] and the cesium effect [14] ...
