An improved method for the preparation of 24-crown-8 is described. Cyclization at room temperature and purification of the crude product via an acetonitrile complex provides a much higher yield than those reported in the literature.

We describe the synthesis of a polycatenated cyclic polymer, a structure that resembles a molecular charm bracelet. Ruthenium-catalyzed ring-opening metathesis polymerization of an aminocontaining cyclic olefin monomer in the presence of a chain transfer agent generated an α,ω-diazide functionalized polyamine. Cyclization of the resulting linear polyamine using pseudo-high-dilution coppercatalyzed click cyclization produced a cyclic polymer in 19% yield. The click reaction was then further employed to remove linear contaminants from the cyclic polymer using azide- and alkyne-functionalized scavenging resins, and the purified cyclic polymer product was characterized by gel permeation chromatography, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and IR spectroscopy. Polymer hydrogenation and conversion to the corresponding polyammonium species enabled coordination and interlocking of diolefin polyether fragments around the cyclic polymer backbone using ruthenium-catalyzed ring-closing olefin metathesis to afford a molecular charm bracelet structure. This charm bracelet complex was characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, and the catenated nature of the small rings was confirmed using two-dimensional diffusionordered NMR spectroscopy.

Through the reaction of polyethylene glycols with tosyl chloride and heterogeneous KOH in dioxane not only coronands from crown-4 to crown-8 can be obtained but also larger homologues.A systematic investigation has shown that: i) crown-9 and crown-10 can be formed from nona- and deca-ethylene glycol, respectively, and isolated in pure form; ii) the whole series of polyethylene glycols from tri- to deca-ethylene glycol yields not only the corresponding crown ethers but also higher cyclooligomers that can be analyzed up to about crown-20 by glc: in particular crown-12 and crown-16 were obtained from tetraethylene glycol and purified by column chromatography on cellulose; iii) the reaction, as applied to commercial mixtures of polyethylene glycols (from PEG 200 to PEG 1000), gives fairly high yields of crown ethers also in the region of large ring sizes.The contribution of the template effect of K(+) ion and the cyclooligomerization reactions for the various ring sizes are discussed.
