Application

Phase-transfer catalyst used in a chemoselective reduction of fused tetrazoles with NaBH₄ and potassium hydroxide.

18-Crown-6 may be used to catalyze the N-alkylation of heterocyclic compounds and allylation of functionalized aldehydes.

Additive for greener etherification using KF-alumina.

Can be useful as phase-transfer catalysts.

Additive for greener etherification using KF-alumina.Synthesis of diaryl ethers, diaryl thioethers, and diarylamines mediated by potassium fluoride-alumina and 18-crown-6

General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalysis. Find details here.18-Crown-6 is the simplest crown ether that can be prepared by reacting triethylene glycol with triethylene glycol dichloride in the presence of potassium hydroxide as base.

Other Notes

Macrocyclic polyethers with repeating (-CH₂CH₂O) units. The compounds are ionophoric (form stable complexes with cations).
