Enantiomerically pure azophenolic crown ethers 1-4 containing (S)- or (R)-1-phenylethane-1,2-diol moieties and (2S,4S)-2,4-dimethyl-3-oxapentane-1,5-diol moiety as a chiral subunit were prepared; crown ethers (S,S,S,S)-1 showed high chiral recognition behaviour in complexation with 2-substituted 2-aminoethanol derivatives.
