Synthesis of new enantiopure proton-ionizable crown ethers containing a dialkylhydrogenphosphate moiety

Seven new enantiopure proton-ionizable crown ethers containing a dialkylhydrogenphosphate moiety were prepared starting from optically active dialkyl-substituted oligoethylene glycols and phosphorus oxychloride followed by mild hydrolysis of the resulting macrocyclic chlorophosphates.

Summary:Seven new enantiopure proton-ionizable crown ethers containing a dialkylhydrogenphosphate moiety were prepared starting from optically active dialkyl-substituted oligoethylene glycols and phosphorus oxychloride followed by mild hydrolysis of the resulting macrocyclic chlorophosphates. Pentaethylene glycols having primary hydroxyl groups gave good yields of 17-crown-6 type ethers. Pentaethylene glycols with secondary hydroxyl groups rendered about the same amount of 17-crown-6 ethers and open chain dihydrogenphosphates in low yields. Tetraethylene glycols are reluctant to undergo macrocyclization with phosphorus oxychloride, especially the ones which contain secondary hydroxyl groups.
