Abstract:
Novel cage-functionalized azacrown ethers, i.e. 51, 52, 53, 55, 57, 61 and 62, which have various crown cavity and different number of nitrogen atoms incorporated, have been prepared. X-ray structures of 53, 55 and 57 have been obtained for the study of the crown topological structure. The complexation properties of crown 51, 52, 57, 61 and 62 have been evaluated via alkali metal picrate extraction, silver picrate extraction and ESI-MS study. The novel cage-fuctionalized azacrown ethers generally exhibit high avidity and selectivity towards Ag+ versus alkali metal ions and some transition meta

Abstract:
The synthesis of biaryl ethers is a process of importance in many fields within the chemical industry. Generally, the Ullmann ether synthesis is employed, though improvements in the general method have not been commonplace since the inception of the process at the turn of the century. By reinvestigating the parameters present, it was found that the use of cuprous iodide in a solventless reaction led to high yields of diaryl ethers. Further improvements were developed by the implementation of ultrasound in conjunction with lower reaction temperatures, with similarly high yields being afforded.

The aim of this research project was to devise a viable synthetic route to perfluoropolyethers. Current commercial processes are elaborate but inefficient and hence are limited in application by cost. The approach undertaken in this project consisted of essentially two steps; (1) the free radical addition of a polyether to a fluorinated olefin and (2) the direct fluorination of the polyadducts derived from the addition process (scheme i) (Rf = polyfluoroalkyl, Rf(^1) = perfluoroalkyl) The research work was carried out in two phases.
