Hexane-1,2,5,6-tetraol

The reaction was initially monitored using 10% MeOH/CH2Cl2 to follow the disappearance of tetraol 3. The appearance of the diepoxide 4 is monitored using 50% ether/hexane. 

The research on the synthesis and catalytic properties of the so-called ship-in-the-bottle materials that have started in late 1960s is under way. New Host-Guest Nanocomposite Materials were prepared by supporting transition metal (M=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II)) complexes with an octahydro-Schiff bases (H4-N O ) = 2,7,13,18-tetramethyl-3,6, 14,17-tetraazatricyclo-[17.3.1.1]-tetracosa-l(23),2,6,8(24),9,ll,13,17,19,21-decaene-9,11,20,22-tetraol H4([H]3-N404) = 2,7,13,18-tetramethyl-3,6,14,17-tetraazatricyclo-[17.13.1.1.]-tetracosa-l(23),8(24),9,ll,19,21-hexane-9,ll,20,22-tetraol) encapsulated in...
