4'-Aminobenzo-18-crown ether-6 is a crown ether compound used as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions.
4′-Aminophenyl-18-crown-6 is a cyclic compound. It is widely used as an ion carrier. It coordinates to metal ions more easily than other ligands because its planar oxygen atoms provide a strong negative potential barrier. 4'-aminobenzo-18-Crown-6 (AB18C6) could be used to design and fabricate a novel magnetic absorbent for absorption and determination of lead metal ion (Pb2+) based on a self-assembly approach via the dehydration condensation[1].
