A number of chiral selectors have been developed and applied for enantiomer separation of a variety of chiral compounds. Among these chiral selectors are chiral crown ethers, a class of synthetic host polyether molecules that bind protonated chiral primary amines with high selectivity and affinity. In this paper, two important chiral crown ethers as chiral selectors of bis-(1,1'-binaphthyl)-22-crown-6 and (18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid (18-C-6-TA) are focused. They have been widely used to resolve the enantiomers of chiral compounds containing a primary amino moiety using chiral stationary phases (CSPs) or chiral selectors by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE) and so on in chirotechnology. Also, it was described that the commercially available covalent type HPLC CSPs derived from (+)- and (-)-18-C-6-TA have been developed and successfully applied for the resolution of various primary amino compounds including amino acids.

Crown ether-based HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSPs) have been successfully utilized in the resolution of various racemic compounds containing a primary amino group. Especially, CSPs based on chiral crown ethers incorporating chiral binaphthyl unit or tartaric acid unit and based on phenolic pseudo chiral crown ethers have shown high chiral recognition efficiency. In this account paper, a review on the development of crown etherbased HPLC CSPs, their structural characteristics and applications to the resolution of racemic compounds including chiral drugs containing a primary or secondary amino group with the variation of the type and the content of mobile phase components and with the variation of the column temperature is presented.

ChiroSil RCA(+) and SCA(-) HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSPs) developed by covalently bonding (+)- and (-)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid (18-C-6-T A) to silica gel were employed for enantioresolution of racemic amino compounds, respectively. Also, these 18-C-6-TA covalently bonded CSPs were compared to a commercially available Crownpak CR CSP prepared by coating chiral crown ether as a chiral selector on ODS column. (omitted)

As a part of our ongoing research to discover novel monamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors of plant origin, we found that a MeOH extract from the whole plant of Cayratia japonica (Vitaceae) strongly inhibited the MAO activity in mouse brain. The EtOAc-soluble fraction was. therefore, subjected to the bioactivity-guided fractionations to isolate the active compounds. (omitted)

Chiral crown ethers are synthetic macrocyclic polyethers that bind protonated chiral primary amines with high selectivity and affinity. They have been widely used to separate or distinguish the enantiomers of chiral compounds containing a primary amino moiety by high-performance liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and NMR spectroscopy. In this paper, two important chiral crown ethers including chiral binaphthyl unit and (18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid as chiral selectors are focused. And several chiral resolution techniques and their applications in chirotechnology using these chiral crown ethers with related chiral recognition mechanism studies are reviewed. Especially, it was shown that the commercially available HPLC columns based on (18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid have been developed and successfully applied for the resolution of various primary amino compounds including amino acids.

To extract alkali metal ions and heavy metal ions, search for crown ether model compounds (4a-b, 5a-b, 6a-b) bearing side arm has led to achieve in 5~6 steps starting from 2,6-dimethylaniline. The determination of structure in their compound derivatives were on the basis of melting point and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In the solvent extraction of metal ions from the synthesized derivatives, we observed that silver ion has only high selectivity for synergistic ligation of crown ether.

The complex formation between diazocalix[4]dipropyl (1) and diazocalix[4]crown-6 ether (2) with alkali, alkaline earth and transition metal ions was investigated by voltammetry. Electrochemical properties of compounds 1 and 2 and their selectivity toward metal ions were evaluated in $CH_3CN$ solution by comparison of voltammetric behaviors of two phenols in each compound. Compounds 1 and 2 showed almost same voltammetric behavior which is two irreversible oxidation peaks caused by intramolecular hydrogen bonding between two phenols in 1 and 2. While, however, upon interacting with various metal ions, 1 with two propyl ether groups showed no significant changes in voltammetry, 2 with crown ether group caused significant voltammetric changes upon the addition of $Ba^{2+}$ to 2. Their behavior is closely related to the complex formation by entrapment of metal ion into crown ether cavity, and ion-dipole interaction between metal ion and two phenolic groups in calix[4]crown-6.

The synergistic solvent extraction of rare earth elements such as europium and yttrium has been investigated by the extractant with crown ether as an additive. Macrocyclic ligand as host-guest compounds form more stable complexes with metal ions which have the similar size of the cavity of crown ether. In our previous study[14] founded that the extraction used fatty acid of the various alkyl chain length. Based on the results of the previous experiment, the synergistic separation effect of two metals investigated that the hexanoic acid had was the worst extraction effect which added a crown ether such as 18-crown-6 ether, 15-crown-5 ether, and 12-crown-4 ether. In this study, the concentrations of hexanoic acid have showed the separation effect, and then the concentrations and kind of crown ether are performed for synergistic extraction at the hexanoic acid concentration of the highest separation effect. As a results, the separation rate is the highest value of 1.72 at 0.05 M hexanoic acid, and 0.002M 15-crown-5 ether is the best value in other concentrations and kind of crown ether, it is about twice of using only hexanoic acid. Moreover, the extraction species of two metals has been founded $MLR_3{\cdot}3RH$ form when added the crown ether.

By cyclocondensation of 1,2-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)benzene with oligoethylene glycol ditosylate, new crown ethers containing 1,2-dibenzylbenzene subunit were synthesized. By oxidation of the benzylic positions of them, carbonyl-containing crowns having 1,2-dibenzoylbenzene subunit were synthesized.
