The synthesis of crown ethers derived from meso-tartaric acid was investigated. The sodium salt of the bis(dimethylamide) of meso-tartaric acid reacted with diethylene glycol ditosylate to give a mixture of 18-crown-6 tetraamide and 27-crown-9 hexaamide crown ethers. The 2R,3S,11S,12R 18-crown-6 isomer crystallized in triclinic space group [Formula: see text] (a = 7.557(2), b = 8.866(2), c = 10.4133(13) Å, α = 94.13(2), β = 95.86(2), γ = 99.26(2)°, R = 0.040 for 2090 observed of 3129 unique reflections). The structures of the remaining products were then assigned from the NMR spectra. The solution conformations of the amide crown ethers were examined by NMR, and provide a rationale for the product distribution obtained. One of the 18-crown-6 isomers and a mixture of the two 27-crown-9 isomers were hydrolyzed to the respective crown ether carboxylic acids, and the stability constants for complexation of cations were determined by potentiometric titration. The meso tetra- and hexacarboxylates are remarkably nonselective and inefficient cation complexing agents, compared to related crown ethers from R,R-(+)-tartaric acid, due to the unfavorable conformational control exerted by the tartaro units. Key words: crown ether synthesis, complexation, crown ether conformation, meso-tartaric acid, crystal structure.

AbstractThe complexation energies of H3BNHnCl3−n (n= 3-0) complexes and the proton affinities of NHnCl3−n compounds have been computed at the G2(MP2) level of theory. G2(MP2) results show that the successive chlorine substitution on the ammonia decreases both the basicity of the NHnCl3−n ligands and the stability of H3BNHnCl3−n complexes. The findings are interpreted in terms of the rehybridisation of the nitrogen lone-pair orbital. The NBO partitioning scheme shows that the variation of the N-H and N-Cl bond lengths, upon complexation, is due to variation of “s” character in these bonds.

MINDO-Forces calculations with complete geometry optimization have been performed on α- substituted acetaldehydes XCH2CH=O and their enols (X = H, F, OH, CN, NH2, NO2, CH3, CF3, OCH3). All substituents were found to decrease the stability of the acetaldehyde and mostly in the case of electron withdrawing capacity (e. g NO2 and CF3). This agrees with theoretical calculations, except in the case of F. The substituent effects on the stabilities in this study are compared with results obtained from our previous theoretical calculations on acetyl derivatives. Geometrical parameters, electron densities, and Gibbs free energies are reported.
