21. This method is predicated upon mechanistic studies of the cyclotrimerization reaction reported by Iwamura: Matsuda, K.; Nakamura, N.; Takahashi, K.; Inoue, K.; Koga, N.; Iwamura, H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1995, 177, 5550.
22. We have observed formation of intractable tars (presumably polymeric in nature) along with desired TAB's in the course of cross-cyclotrimerizations involving enaminones and aryl ethynyl ketones (see refs 8-10).

42. Solid-state structural data may prove helpful in elucidating the exact nature of the crown-alkali cation complexes discussed; however, attempts to obtain X-ray quality crystals of 4, 5, 8, and 9 along with their metalated derivatives have thus far been unsuccessful.
43. 1H NMR spectra of TAB derivatives obtained before and after addition of an excess of metal salt were absent.
44. Stepwise association constants were not determined. Instead, the log K values shown in Table 2 reflect an average of all binding events. Values obtained for tris(crown)s 4 and 5 are similar to association constants reported for simpler benzo(crown ether)s and alkali cations. For a compilation of binding data, see: Izatt, R. M.; Pawlak, K.; Bradshaw, J. S.; Bruening, R. L. Chem. Rev. 1991, 91, 1721.
