Singly branched symmetrical tri- and hexa-ether ligands have been prepared, starting from 2-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (as alkoxide).Singly branched unsymmetrical tetra- and penta-ether ligands have also been made by a step-wise procedure, converting first the triol into 3-hydroxymethyl-3-methyloxetane.It proved advantageous also to prepare the symmetrical ligands by such a multi-step procedure.Via the same oxetane intermediate, a doubly branched penta-ether ligand was also prepared.
