Stoddart and his coworkers have reported syntheses of the trans-syn-trans and the trans-anti-trans isomers of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 The synthesis of these two compounds from trans-l,2-cyclohexanediol was accomplished in two stages. First, the diols were temporarily linked on one side by formation of the formal, and this was treated with diethylene glycol ditosylate and sodium hydride to form the hemi-crown formal. Removal of the formal protecting group, followed by a second cychzation completed the synthesis. The synthesis of the trans-anti-trans compound is illustrated below m Eq (3 12) and the structures of the five possible stereoisomers are shown as structures 1—5. 

Azelaic acid is a non-phenolic derivative (1,7-hep tanedicarboxylic acid) used at concentration of 10-20% twice a day to treat melasma with minimal side effects (allergic reactions). It acts to disturb the tyrosinase synthesis and can be used as a bleaching agent in patients sensitive to hydroquinone. Better results are obtained if a glycolic acid cream is applied sequentially to azelaic acid treatment.

Perhaps the only reliable way to identify a psilocybin trip is by its short duration most trips are completely over in six hours or less. THC, DMT, glycolate esters and very likely muscimole probably do not produce cross tolerance with each other or with the LSD-mescaline-psilocybin group, as would be expected from the distinct kinds of trips produced by each of the former compounds. Other than the synthesis of new compounds, the most fertile source of new trips lies in the combination of varying amounts of known psychedelics.

Initially, the term Hquid-phase synthesis was used to contrast the differences between soHd-phase peptide synthesis and a method of synthesis on soluble polyethylene glycol (PEG) [5, 6]. Although soluble polymer-supported synthesis is less ambiguous than Hquid-phase synthesis, the latter term is more prevalent in the Hterature. In-keeping with previous reviews [7-12], the phrases classical or solution synthesis will be used to describe homogeneous reaction schemes that do not employ polymer supports while liquid-phase synthesis will be reserved... 

Soluble polymers that have been used in hquid-phase methodologies are listed in Fig. 5.1 [3, 7, 8, 34, 35]. Polyethylene glycol and non-cross-linked polystyrene are some of the most often used polymeric carriers for organic synthesis and have found frequent use in the preparation of soluble polymer-supported catalysts and reagents consequently, a brief discussion of these polymers is warranted.

Diethylene and triethylene glycol (DEG and TEG) are produced as byproducts of ethylene glycol. DEG and TEG are used in polyurethane and unsaturated polyester resins and in the drying of natural gas. DEG is also used in antifreeze and in the synthesis of morpholine, a solvent, corrosion inhibitor, antioxidant, and pharmaceutical intermediate.
