A new imidazolidinium based receptor exhibiting unique affinity and high selectivity for fluoride anion through steric requirements and the cooperativity of multiple intramolecular binding, has been designed, synthesized and structurally characterized.
2-(2,4,6-Tri-t-butylphenyl)-1-phosphaethyne was prepared from 2,2-dichloro-1-(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenyl)-1-phosphaethene by lithiation of anti-chloro atom followed by hydrolysis, photoisomerization, and repeated lithiation involving migration. The present method was successfully applied to the preparation of 2-(2,4,6-tri-t-pentylphenyl)-1-phosphaethyne.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
