A few new l-threitol-based lariat ethers incorporating a monoaza-15-crown-5 unit were synthesized starting from diethyl l-tartrate. These macrocycles were used as phase transfer catalysts in asymmetric Michael addition reactions under mild conditions to afford the adducts in a few cases in good to excellent enantioselectivities. The addition of 2-nitropropane to trans-chalcone, and the reaction of diethyl acetamidomalonate with β-nitrostyrene resulted in the chiral Michael adducts in good enantioselectivities (90% and 95%, respectively). The substituents of chalcone had a significant impact on the yield and enantioselectivity in the reaction of diethyl acetoxymalonate. The highest enantiomeric excess (ee) values (99% ee) were measured in the case of 4-chloro- and 4-methoxychalcone. The phase transfer catalyzed cyclopropanation reaction of chalcone and benzylidene-malononitriles using diethyl bromomalonate as the nucleophile (MIRC reaction) was also developed. The corresponding chiral cyclopropane diesters were obtained in moderate to good (up to 99%) enantioselectivities in the presence of the threitol-based crown ethers.

The synthesis of three different types of lipophilic 18-crown-6 diacids is described.A didecyl crown ether 2,3-diacid (1) was prepared as a minor product from a diiodide precursor (12) and threo-11,12-docosanediol by thallous ethoxide cyclization.The major nonpolymeric products resulted from elimination followed by cyclization to give 15-crown-5-derivatives.A crown ether 11,12-diamide 2,3-diacid (4) was prepared by a similar route involving cyclization of a benzyl protected precursor (26) and N,N,N',N'-tetramethyltartaramide (9).Isomeric syn and anti 2,11(12)-diamide 3,12(11)-diacid derivatives 6 and 7 were prepared from the known crown ether bisanhydride 8 and alkylamines.The product mixture was separated by chromatography, and the isomers were identified by comparison of acidity and stability constants for complexation with those of closely related syn/anti crown ether acids.
