Abstract

Two bis crown ether receptors were synthesized and tested as host molecules for protonated forms of alkyl amines and amino acid esters. Molecular recognition studies were conducted in CH₂Cl₂:MeOH (92:8) by spectrophotometric UV/Vis titrations and by spectrometric ¹H NMR titrations in CDCl₃. The calculated binding constants are in the range 10²–10⁵ M^–1. A high affinity for L–amino acid methyl ester derivatives was found. A theoretical study at the DFT level of the synthesized receptor and some analog ligands with three different ammonium ions helps to rationalize the experimentally found trends.

Key words: Ditopic Receptors, Binding Constant; Crown Ethers, Alkyl Ammonium, Amino Acid.

 

Resumen

En este trabajo se sinterizaron dos receptores del tipo bis eter corona y fueron estudiados como moléculas anfitrión de alquilaminas y ésteres de aminoácidos protonados. Se realizaron estudios de reconocimiento molecular por titulaciones espectrofotométricas UV/Vis en CH₂Cl₂:MeOH (92:8) y por titulaciones espectrométricas de RMN ¹H en CDCl₃. Las constantes de enlace calculadas están en el intervalo 10²–10⁵ M^–1. Se encontró una alta afinidad por los ésteres metílicos de los L–aminoácidos estudiados. Un estudio teórico a nivel DFT de los receptores sinterizados y algunos ligandos análogos con tres diferentes iones amonio permite explicar las tendencias experimentales encontradas.

Palabras clave: Receptores ditópicos, constante de enlace, éteres corona, alquilamonio, aminoácido.
