Synthesis and evaluation of bipendant-armed (oligo)thiophene crown ether derivatives as new chemical sensors
摘要:
Three new (oligo)thiophene bipendant-armed ligands 2a-c, derived from 2-(aminomethyl)-15-crown-5, have been synthesized and characterized. Compounds 2a-c were prepared by reductive amination of the corresponding macrocycle with formyl thiophene derivatives la-c in the presence of NaBH(ClAc) in fair, to good yields. The photophysical properties of ligands 2a-c were Studied and they were also evaluated as chemosensors in the presence of Na(I), Ag(I), Pd(II) and Hg(II) cations in acetonitrile Solution.
