A new type of intramolecular cyclization of 1,5 bis[2 (E 3 oxo 3 phenylprop 1 enyl) phenoxy] 3 oxapentane with 3 aminotriazole promoted by potassium ions was discovered. A cascade mechanism for the formation of crownophane with 4,7 dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5 a] pyrimidine fragment was suggested. Effects of oligooxyethylene fragment of the chalcone podand and acid base catalysis on the selectivity of the cyclocondensation processes and degree of oxidation of triazolopyrimidine fragments were studied. The product structures were confirmed by IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy and X ray diffraction study.
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.
