Kilo-scale synthesis and purification of 4,4′-[di-t-butyldibenzo]-18-crown-6 and its catalytic reduction to 4,4′-[di-t-butyldicyclohexano]-18-crown-6

Abstract

4,4’-[di t-butyldibenzo]-18-crown-6 (DTBDB18C6) and 4,4’-[di t-butyldicyclohexano]-18-crown-6 (DTBDCH18C6) are valued for their ability to selectively extract metal ions, which has made them useful materials for applications like nuclear waste treatment, sensor...
