Pyridino-14-crown-4, two 4-(2-tetrahydropyranoxy)pyridino-14-crown-4 compounds, and the corresponding 4-(2-tetrahydropyranoxy)pyridino-15-crown-5 and -18-crown-6 compounds were oxidized to the N-oxide analogues by treatment with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. Upon hydrolysis, the tetrahydropyranoxy-substituted compounds became the N-hydroxy-4-pyridono-crown compounds in solution. A crystal structure determination of one of the new crowns showed that the 4-hydroxypyridine N-oxide was the stable form in the solid state. Of the alkali-metal cations, the n-octyl-substituted 1-hydroxy-4-pyridono-14-crown-4 compound transported lithium ions selectively in an aqueous metal hydroxide-methylene chloride-0.01 M aqueous hydrochloric acid bulk liquid membrane system. 28 references, 3 figures, 7 tables.
