The synthesis and structure of a macrocycle containing a quinone unit by treatment of tetrafluoro-1,4-benzoquinone with 1,11-diamino-3,6,9-trioxaundecane
Abstract
A one-step synthesis of a novel macrocycle containing a quinone unit by treatment of p-fluoranil with 1,11-diamino-3,6,9-trioxaundecane is described and its structure determined by a combination of X-ray crystallography, multinuclear NMR, IR, and UV-VIS spectroscopy.
