Abstract

A series of new benzo-15-crown-5 derivatives (16) containing formyl and imine groups were prepared. New formyl crown ethers (1 and 2) were prepared by reaction of 4′,5′-bis(bromomethyl)benzo-15-crown-5 with 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (o-vanillin) and 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde in the presence of NaOH. New Schiff bases (36) were synthesized by the condensation of corresponding aldehydes with 1,3-diaminopropane and 1,4-diaminobutane. Sodium and potassium complexes (1a6a and 1b6b) of the crown compounds forming crystalline complexes of 1:1 (Na+:ligand) and 1:2 (K+:ligand) stoichiometries were also synthesized. The structures of the aldehydes 1 and 2, imines 36 and complexes (1a3a and 1b3b) were confirmed on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, and mass spectroscopy.
