Synthesis of configurationally chiral cryptands and cryptates from carbohydrate precursors

W. David Curtis, Dale A. Laidler, J. Fraser Stoddart and Graham H. Jones


Optically pure configurationally chiral 18-crown-6 and 9-crown-3 cryptands have been synthesised from L-tartaric acid and D-mannitol and some of the 18-crown-6 derivatives have been shown to form cryptates with metal and primary alkylammonium cations.
