Podand ionophores with dialkoxy conformational locks

Ionophores 2–4 which incorporate a novel + gauchel-gauche dialkoxy conformational locking mechanism were synthesized from D-mannitol. These new podands bound various chiral ammonium ions enantioselectively, but comparisons with related alkylated podands indicated that dialkyl and dialkoxy conformati...

Summary:Ionophores 2–4 which incorporate a novel + gauchel-gauche dialkoxy conformational locking mechanism were synthesized from D-mannitol. These new podands bound various chiral ammonium ions enantioselectively, but comparisons with related alkylated podands indicated that dialkyl and dialkoxy conformational locks are not completely interchangable. Three new, enantioselective podand ionophores are prepared from D-mannitol and incorporate a conformational locking mechanism which is controlled by the electrostatic interactions of alkoxy groups.
