Abstract

Reaction of 18-crown-6 with KI in ethanol solution followed by addition of iodine (I2) afforded a unique triiodide salt with a nanotube-like structure ({[K.18-Crown-6]I3}n). It is shown that this reagent may be used for the chemoselective trimethylsilylation of alcohols. The synthesis of the crystalline reagent is a good example of crystal engineering. Reagent was recycled and reused.
