Enantiomeric 1-phenylpropyl and 1-phenylbutyl 9-anthroates as novel chiral inclusion complexing agents. Preparation and X-ray analysis of the 6:1 inclusion complexes with n-hexane
Abstract
Resolved 1-phenylpropyl and 1-phenylbutyl 9-anthroates, when crystallised from n-hexane, form 6:1 inclusion molecular complexes which are isostructural; X-ray analysis of the propyl derivative demonstrates the formation of a channel structure by the anthracenes, in which the n-hexane is included.
