Abstract

The title thiacrown ethers were prepared in a one-step procedure to give a series of unique macrocycles possessing two unsubstituted hydroxy groups that can be easily functionalized. In addition, epoxides and macrocycles derived from Cookson’s birdcage diketone, were prepared. The nucleophilic ring opening of epoxides synthesis can be classified in the frame of click chemistry. Surprisingly, some of the prepared allyl substituted polyglycols as well as bis-epoxides, especially sulfur analogues, were prepared for the first time.
