摘要:
Ring closing metathesis of the vinyl group-terminated oligoethers catalyzed by RuCl2(=CHPh)(PCy3)(2) yielded macrocyclic polyethers containing vinylene group. The H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra indicated the presence of C=C double bond (trans/cis = ca. 80:20). The obtained 23-membered cyclic ether reacted with benzyi(anthrylmethl)ammonium hexafluorophosphate to produce the pseudo-rotaxane as colorless crystals. X-ray crystallography revealed N-(HO)-O-... hydrogen bonds and stacking of the aromatic planes between the host and guest molecules, which stabilized the rotaxane structure in the solid state. The H-1 NMR spectra of the solutions containing the macrocyclic polyether and several secondary ammonium salts indicated the formation of pseudo-[2]-rotaxanes. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
