New proton-ionizable macrocyclic ligands. Synthesis, basicity, reactions, and structures of two aza crown ethers containing the 4-hydroxypyridine unit
Abstract
Two new reactive aza crown ethers, (1) and (2), containing the 4-hydroxypyridine unit have been prepared and found to be different with respect to pK(H2O) values for H2L+, structures of the hydrates of HL, and complex formation with benzylamine and the benzylammonium ion.
