1-(4-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)phenyl)ethanone (cas: 54916-28-8) belongs to ethers. Ether is less polar than esters, alcohols or amines because of the oxygen atom that is unable to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the presence of bulky alkyl groups on both sides of the oxygen atom. But ether is more polar than alkenes. Ethers are good solvents partly because they are not very reactive. Most ethers can be cleaved, however, by hydrobromic acid (HBr) to give alkyl bromides or by hydroiodic acid (HI) to give alkyl iodides.SDS of cas: 54916-28-8

The Coupling of Arylboronic Acids with Nitroarenes Catalyzed by Rhodium was written by Zheng, Xing-Wang;Ding, Jin-Chang;Chen, Jiu-Xi;Gao, Wen-Xiao;Liu, Miao-Chang;Wu, Hua-Yue. And the article was included in Organic Letters in 2011.SDS of cas: 54916-28-8 This article mentions the following:

The coupling of arylboronic acids with electron-deficient nitroarenes was realized for the first time by using a rhodium(I) catalyst under an air atm., achieving unsym. diaryl ethers, e.g., I with yields ranging from poor to good. From a deuterium labeling experiment, the oxygen atom is derived from ambient water. The efficiency of this reaction was demonstrated by its compatibility with fluoro, bromo, chloro, and trifluoromethyl groups. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-(4-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)phenyl)ethanone (cas: 54916-28-8SDS of cas: 54916-28-8).

1,4,7,10-Tetraoxa-13-azacyclopentadecane (cas: 66943-05-3) belongs to ethers. Ether is less polar than esters, alcohols or amines because of the oxygen atom that is unable to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the presence of bulky alkyl groups on both sides of the oxygen atom.

Design and synthesis of Tröger’s base ditopic receptors: host-guest interactions, a combined theoretical and experimental study was written by Bhaskar Reddy, Manda;Shailaja, Myadaraboina;Manjula, Alla;Premkumar, Joseph Richard;Sastry, Garikapati Narahari;Sirisha, Katukuri;Sarma, Akella Venkata Subrahmanya. And the article was included in Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry in 2015.Application In Synthesis of 1,4,7,10-Tetraoxa-13-azacyclopentadecane This article mentions the following:

Two flexible Troeger base ditopic receptors C4TB and C5TB incorporating an aza-crown ether were designed and synthesized for bis[ammonium ion] complexation. A comprehensive study of host-guest interactions was established by 1H NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations Bis[ammonium chloride] with a short alkyl chain spacer showed the highest affinity for the receptors. M06-2X/cc-pVTZ calculations including the solvent effects on host-guest complexes were employed to explain and rationalize the exptl. trends. The short N-H···O or N-H···N hydrogen-bond distances observed in the range of 1.71-1.98 Å indicate the existence of a strong charge assisted hydrogen bonding between the host and the guest. The unusual behavior (higher binding constant) of A5 in 1H NMR titration is traced to the conformational folding of the guest. The synthesis of the target compounds was achieved by a reaction of 1,4,7-trioxa-10-azacyclododecane and 1,4,7,10-tetraoxa-13-azacyclopentadecane with a bis(bromoethoxy)6H,12H-5,11-Methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocine derivative (Troger’s base).

Enhancement of transfection activity in HEK293 cells by lipoplexes containing cholesteryl nitrogen-pivoted aza-crown ethers was written by Sewbalas, Alisha;Ul Islam, Rafique;van Otterlo, Willem A.

And the article was included in Medicinal Chemistry Research in 2013.Name: 1,4,7,10-Tetraoxa-13-azacyclopentadecane This article mentions the following:

Two nitrogen-pivoted aza-crown ethers (aza-CEs) linked to the cholesteryl-fused ring system N-(cholesteryloxycarbonyl)aza-15-crown-5 and N-(cholesteryloxycarbonyl)aza-18-crown-6 have been incorporated into cationic liposomes containing the cytofectin 3β[N-(N’,N’-dimethylaminopropane)carbamoyl] cholesterol (Chol-T) and the neutral co-lipid dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine. These novel liposomes form stable complexes with plasmid DNA and afford it good protection from serum nuclease digestion. Ethidium displacement studies suggest that the DNA is more loosely packed in aza-CE containing lipoplexes, a finding which is supported by band shift assays that reveal N/P end point ratios of 2:1, 3:1 and 3.5:1 for Chol-T control liposomes, aza-15-crown-5 and aza-18-crown-6 containing liposomes, resp. The transfection activities of crown ether-containing lipoplex formulations in the human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293 are twofold greater than those achieved by Chol-T lipoplexes not containing the aza-CEs. This observation may be attributable to the more loosely packed DNA, which facilitates disassembly, and to endosomal perturbations caused by macrocycle entrapped cations.

CYP 17 and CYP 19 Inhibitors.

And the article was included in Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry in 2004.SDS of cas: 104197-14-0 This article mentions the following:

Regioselectively fluorinated 1-(naphth-2-ylmethyl)imidazoles 1a-h have been synthesized starting from the corresponding (naphth-2-yl)methanols (2). 2a-d have been obtained by LiAlH4-promoted reduction of fluorinated 1-methyl-2-naphthaldehydes. The latter were easily prepared in fairly good overall yields by ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN)-promoted oxidative addition of the suitable 3-(fluoroaryl)-1-trimethylsilyloxy-1-butenes to Et vinyl ether in methanol followed by cyclization of the resulting acetals in strongly acidic medium in the presence of DDQ. 2e-h were prepared by LiAlH4-promoted reduction of the corresponding fluorinated Me 2-naphthoates. The latter were more profitably obtained by reacting the suitable benzyl bromide with the sodium salt of di-Me 2-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)malonate in DMF followed by demethoxycarbonylation and acid catalyzed cyclization of the resulting acetals. Compared with the non-fluorinated parent compounds 1i-l, fluorinated 1-(naphth-2-yl)methylimidazoles 1a-h turned out to be potent inhibitors of CYP17 and CYP19 enzymes. The most active inhibitor of CYP17 is 1c, whereas CYP19 is strongly inhibited by 1b, 1e, and 1g. Interestingly, 1g is a potent dual inhibitor also being very active towards CYP19.

Phenols and their Me ethers, in the presence of 85% H3PO4, readily add to the β-C atom of cinnamic acids bearing a MeO group in either the ortho or para positions on the phenyl group, to give high yields of 3,3-diarylpropionic acids. If an ortho HO group is present on the addend, the propionic acid can lactonize to yield a 4-aryldihydrocoumarin.
