To date, proton-conducting organic crystalline materials based on crown ethers have rarely been investigated.

A new, highly selective method for effective synthesis of boryl silyl ethers (borasiloxanes) via O-borylation of silanols with vinylboronates catalyzed by the Ru-H complexes [RuHCl(CO)(PCy3)2] and [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3] is described.

beside ziegler-natta and phillips catalysts the development of methylaluminoxane (mao) as cocatalyst incombination with metallocenes or other transition metal complexes for the polymerization of olefins haswidely increased the possibilities in controlling the polymer composition, polymer structure, tacticity and special properties with high precision. these catalysts allow the synthesis of isot...

A bolaamphiphilic low-molecular-weight gelator based on crown ether, which could self-assemble into organogels and hydrogels, was prepared. The contribution of each part of the structure to the gelation property was investigated by designing a series of analogues. A simple framework (crown ether-hydrophobic linkage-ammonium salt) was proposed.

A silver-mediated cross-coupling of trifluoromethoxide with aryl stannanes and arylboronic acids to give aryl trifluoromethyl ethers is reported. This is the first report of a transition-metal-mediated C(aryl)-OCF(3) bond formation.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(12)N(+)·ClO(4) (-.)C(12)H(24)O(6), contains one half of the cationic [(C(2)H(5)-C(6)H(4)-NH(3))(18-crown-6)](+) moiety and one half of the ClO(4) (-) anion. Two O atoms of the crown ether, four C atoms and the N atom of the ethylanilinium unit and the Cl and two O atoms of the anion lie on a mirror plane. In the crystal structure, the -NH(3) (+) ...

An efficient procedure for preparing enantiopure polycyclic ethers is reported. The protocol is based on the photo-oxidation/conjugate addition sequence over a chiral functionalized furan, which was prepared from commercially available tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal. The Michael addition step afforded two products with the same absolute configuration from a mixture of diastereomers.

OBJECTIVES Ethylene glycol ethers and their acetates are widely used in industry, because of their hydrophilic and simultaneously lipophilic properties. Ethylene glycol ethers and their acetates are mainly metabolised to alkoxyacetic acids, but there is also a minor pathway through ethylene glycol to oxalic acid. The main pathway of ethylene glycol ethers is associated with significant clinical...
