Synthesis of novel lariat ethers containing polycyclic phenols and heterocyclic aromatic compound using graphite via Mannich reaction are herein described. For this purpose N-(methoxymethyl) azacrown ether 4 was synthesized in nearly quantitative yield. The reaction of N-(methoxymethyl) azacrown ether 4 with polycyclic phenols and heterocyclic aromatic compound was performed in 10-20 min in the presence of graphite. The graphite powder can be reused up to five times after simple washing with acetone.
