Description

4-Myristoylbenzo-15-Crown-5 is a functionalized crown ether derivative, specifically a benzo-15-crown-5 ether modified with a myristoyl (tetradecanoyl) chain. This compound matters as a sophisticated chemical tool that combines the selective metal ion-binding properties of crown ethers with the lipophilic character of a long alkyl chain, enabling applications in phase-transfer catalysis, membrane transport, and sensor development. It is needed by researchers and manufacturers in advanced material science, analytical chemistry, and specialty chemical synthesis for creating selective ionophores and modifying surface properties.

Application

• Key component in the fabrication of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) and potentiometric sensors for alkali and alkaline earth metal ions.
• Acts as a phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) in organic synthesis reactions involving ionic species in non-polar media.
• Used in research for developing artificial ion channels and carriers in lipid bilayer membranes for studying ion transport.
• Functional agent for the surface modification of materials to impart selective ion-binding capabilities.
• Starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex crown ether derivatives and supramolecular structures.
• Potential use as a stationary phase modifier in chromatographic separations for metal ion analysis.
• Research chemical in supramolecular chemistry studies investigating host-guest interactions and complexation thermodynamics.
• Specialty additive in electrolyte formulations for battery or electroplating research to influence ion mobility and selectivity.
