Modular Synthesis of Di- and Tripeptides of Luminescent Crown Ether Aminocarboxylic Acids

Zusammenfassung

Luminescent benzo crown ether aminocarboxylic acids with ammonium ion affinity were prepared and
converted into linear bis- and tris benzo crown ether amides using standard peptide coupling protocols.
The affinities of the new crown ethers to ammonium ions and di- and tetrapeptides bearing ammonium
ion moieties were determined by emission titration in methanol and buffered water.
