By triple condensation of thiourea or guanidine with 1,ω-bis(2-formylphenoxy)-3-oxapentane and ammonium acetate fi rst representatives of the new class of ethers bis(benzo)aza-14-crown-4 were obtained in 28-73% yield that included as a subunit a symm-perhydrotriazine ring. This reaction also proceeds readily with N-monomethyl-and N-monopropenyl-substituted thioureas affording the corresponding derivatives of triazinoazacrown ether. At the same time urea in the similar condensation does not form the expected perhydrotriazinoazacrown ether. The molecular structure of one perhydroazacrown ether as a complex with a chloroform molecule was established by XRD analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
