O-Alkylation of the flexible macrocycle 1 with 2-(chloromethyl)pyridine in the presence of Cs2CO3 resulted in the preferential formation of partial-cone-2. The cone-to-partial-cone ratio of 2 increased in the presence of K2CO3, and led to almost equal in the presence of NaH. The template effect of the alkali metal cations plays an important role in this O-alkylation reaction. The structural characterization of these products is also discussed. The two-phase solvent extraction data indicated that tris[(2-pyridylmethyl)oxy]hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arenes 2 show moderate extractability for n-butylammonium ion and high extractability for Ag+. The 1H NMR titration of cone-2 with AgSO3CF3 clearly demonstrates that a 1:1 complex is formed, which is stable on the NMR time scale. Thus, the synergism of cyclophane moiety and two or three lower-rim side chains with pyridyl groups play a significant role on the complexation of tris[(2-pyridylmethyl)oxy] derivatives cone-2 and partial-cone-2 with Ag+ ion and n-butylammonium ion.Key words: macrocycles, calixarenes, O-alkylation, ionophores, cation-N interaction.

O-Alkylation of the flexible macrocycle 1 with 4-(chloromethyl)pyridine gave di- and tri- O-alkylated products with cone or partial-cone conformation which ratio was affected by NaH or alkali metal carbonates used as a base.

An attempted O-alkylation of the flexible macrocycle tetrahydroxy[3.1.3.1]metacyclophane (1) with 4-(chloromethyl) pyridine (2a) in the presence of NaH under THF reflux gave 1,3-di-O-substitution product distal-3a as a major product. In contrast, tetraol 1 was O-alkylated with 2a in the presence of Cs2CO3 to afford a mixture of two conformers of tetra-O-alkylated product 4a in a ratio of 77:23 (1,4-alternate-4a:partial-cone-4a) in 95% yield. No formation of the cone conformer in the reaction of the tetraol 1 with 2a, in comparison with those with 2-(chloromethyl) pyridine (2b) or benzyl bromide (2c) in the presence of NaH or K2CO3, which predominantly afforded cone-conformer, might be attributable to the absence of contributions derived from cation–N interactions as well as cation–π interactions. The latter effect might be much smaller because of the decreased π-density of the pyridine ring compared to that of the benzene ring. The structural characterization of these products in solution as well as solid state is also discussed.Key words: macrocycles, calixarenes, cyclophanes, [3.1.3.1]metacyclophanes, O-alkylation, conformation, crystal structure, cation–N interaction.

Novel thiacalix[4]arene tetraamides in cone- and 1,3- alternate conformation were prepared, in which the cone-tetraamide shows stronger intramolecular hydrogen bonding than 1,3- alternate-tetraamide. The two-phase solvent extraction data indicated that tetraamides show no extractability for alkali metal cations, but small extractability for dichromate anion (Cr2O72-).

Porosity variations induced by swelling agent exchange were studied in a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. Standard methods were used in the characterization of copolymer porosity in the dry state and the results were compared with related structural parameters derived from small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements as developed for the characterization of two-phase systems. The SAXS method was also used for porosity determination in swollen samples. The differences in the porosity of dry samples were found to be an effect of the drying process, while in the swollen state the sample swells and deswells isotropically.

Abstract In this article, five kinds of soybean oil-based polyols (polyol-E, polyol-P, polyol-I, polyol-B, and polyol-M) were prepared by ring-opening the epoxy groups in epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) with ethyl alcohol, 1-pentanol, isoamyl alcohol, p-tert-butylphenol, and 4-methoxyphenol in the presence of tetrafluoroboric acid as the catalyst. The SOPs were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, GPC, viscosity, and hydroxyl numbers. Compared with ESO, the retention time of SOPs is shortened, indicating that the molecular weight of SOPs is increased. The structure of different monomers can significantly affect the hydroxyl numbers of SOPs. Due to the large steric hindrance of isoamyl alcohol, p-hydroxyanisole, and p-tert-butylphenol, SOPs prepared by these three monomers often undergo further dehydration to ether reactions, which consumes the hydroxyl of polyols, thus forming dimers and multimers; therefore, the hydroxyl numbers are much lower than polyol-E and polyol-P. The viscosity of polyol-E and polyol-P is much lower than that of polyol-I, polyol-B, and polyol-M. A longer distance between the molecules and the smaller intermolecular force makes the SOPs dehydrate to ether again. This generates dimer or polymers and makes the viscosity of these SOPs larger, and the molecular weight greatly increases.
