✦ Synopsis

Reactions of 3,6,9,12-tetraoxa-7-(benzyloxymethyl)-l,l4-tetradecanediol with appropr ate ditosylates followed by hydrogenolysis produce hydroxymethyl-27-crown-9 and hydroxymethyl-30-crown-10.

Alkali metal cation complexation by lipophilic dodecyl ether derivatives of these crowns is examined.
