Dynamic covalent chemistry of the Nicholas ether-exchange reaction.
The Nicholas ether-exchange reaction was found to be reversible and can be used to synthesize complex molecules in dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC). The Nicholas ether-exchange reaction is used to prepare 20-Crown-6 ether in the presence of potassium salt at low temperature.
