Abstract
The number of applications found for crown ether-based materials continues to expand. Many of these applications feature dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DC18C6). The number of its derivatives, however, is very limited. To provide a suitable starting structure for the preparation of diverse functionalized DC18C6, the trans-syn-trans and trans-anti-trans isomers of dicyclohexeno-18-crown-6 have been synthesized for the first time through a convenient three-step synthetic procedure, yielding both isomers simultaneously. An efficient chromatographic separation resulted in the isolation of the pure isomers, and single crystal X-ray crystallography determined the solid-state structure of these crown ethers.
