The cytotoxicity of dialkylated lariat ethers has been previously attributed to their ionophoric properties. Herein, we provide evidence that these effects are due to loss of membrane integrity rather than ion transport, a finding with important implications for the future design of synthetic ionophores.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR SYNTHETIC AMPHIPHILE-INDUCED CHANGES IN PLANT ROOT MORPHOLOGY

Paragraph 0105, (2016/04/04)
The disclosure provides a method for increasing the lateral root development of a plant by exposing said plant to a composition containing a synthetic amphiphile. By increasing the number of lateral roots, the surface area of the root structure is increased, making the plants better able to survive such stresses as drought or low nutrients

A new, two-step method for the synthesis of 4,10-diaza-15-crown-5 and 4,13-diaza-18-crown-6 and their N,N'-disubstituted derivatives from bis(secondary amines) and 1,2-bis(2-iodoethoxy)ethane is described.Essentially, the method utilizes the incipient sidearms as nitrogen-protecting groups prior to cyclization.The yields for cyclization are high, ranging from 32percent to 77percent.The N,N'-disubstituted derivatives of 4,10-diaza-15-crown-5 produced by alkylation or acylation (A), acylation followed by reduction (AR), cyclization (C), hydrogenolysis (H), or single-step cyclization (O) have the following sidearms: H (H, 91percent), MeOCH2CH2 (C, 38percent), EtOCOCH2 (A, 62percent), PhCH2 (C,72percent), 2-MeOPh (C, 52percent), 2-furanylmethyl (C, 67percent), and 2-nitrobenzyl (A, 50percent).N,N'-Dibenzyl-4,10-diaza-18-crown-6 was obtained by cyclization in 63percent yield.The N,N'-disubstituted derivatives of 4,13-diaza-18-crown-6 produced with the new method have the following sidearms: H (H, 92percent), CO-Et (A, 100percent), n-propyl (AR, 78percent), n-butyl (C, 77percent), n-hexyl (C, 32percent; A, 50percent; O, 7percent), n-octyl (AR, 45percent), CO-n-heptyl (A, 71percent), n-nonyl (O, 11percent;A, 45percent;AR, 39percent), CO-n-undecyl (A, 87percent), n-tetradecyl (AR, 26percent), CO-n-tridecyl (A, 78percent), n-hexadecyl (A, 25percent), n-octadecyl (AR, 60percent), CO-n-heptadecyl (A, 100percent), allyl (O, 26percent), propargyl (O, 22percent), HOCH2CH2 (O, 28percent), MeOCH2CH2 (C, 43percent; AR, 76percent), HOCOCH2 (hydrolysis, 81percent), EtOCOCH2 (A, 92percent), PhCH2 (O, 29percent;C, 66percent), 2-furanylmethyl (O, 27percent, C, 62percent), 2-hydroxybenzyl (A, 85percent), 2-methoxybenzyl (O, 30percent), 2-cyanobenzyl (A, 95percent), 2-nitrobenzyl (A, 90percent), 3-nitrobenzyl (A, 95percent), and 4-nitrobenzyl (A, 70percent).The new cyclization method is compared with other, previously published cyclization reactions with respect to overall yield and ease of purification.When this new cyclization cannot be used, diaza crown ethers can be prepared by alkylation of 4,10-diaza-15-crown-5 or 4,13-diaza-18-crown-6.The homogeneous equilibrium cation binding constants (log Ks) have been determined in anhydrous methanol solution for many of the compounds described herein with Na+, K+, and Ca+.The cation selectivities are rationalized in terms of polar, structural, and lipophilicity effects.
