[2.2.2]Cryptand is the organic compound with the formula N(CH2CH2OCH2CH2OCH2CH2)3N. This bicyclic molecule is the most studied member of the cryptand family of chelating agents.[2] It is a white solid. Many analogous compounds are known. Their high affinity for alkali metal cations illustrates the advantages of "preorganization", a concept within the area of supramolecular chemistry.
For the design and synthesis of [2.2.2]cryptand,[3] Jean-Marie Lehn shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The compound was originally prepared starting with the diacylation of the diamine-diether:[4]
- [CH2OCH2CH2NH2]2 + [CH2OCH2COCl]2 → [CH2OCH2CH2NHC(O)CH2]2 + 2 HCl
The resulting macrocyclic diamide is reduced by lithium aluminium hydride. The resulting macrocyclic diamine tetraether reacts with a second equivalent of [CH2OCH2COCl]2 to produce the macrobicyclic diamide. This di(tertiary)amide is reduced to the diamine by diborane.
[2.2.2]Cryptand binds K+ as an octadentate N2O6 ligand. The resulting cation K([2.2.2]cryptand)+ is lipophilic.
