It seems likely that no project of this magnitude is undertaken in
the absence of several motivations. This book is no exception.
There are, from our perspective, at least two rational reasons for
conducting this cataloging and organizational effort. The first of
these is the obvious fact that a very large number of macrocyclic
polyethers have now been prepared and nowhere is there a
comprehensive listing of them. A number of excellent reviews have
been published dealing with one or more aspects of macrocycle
chemistry, but we felt a great need for a single source listing
known compounds. We have, the- fore, attempted to provide such a
listing to assist ourselves in keeping track as well as, we hope,
helping others in this field. We also felt that there was a need
for a survey of methods which have been utilized in the syntheses
of these cation binders so that the novice could establish some
starting point. Wherever possible, we have also attempted to point
to the motivations which en gendered the various syntheses. The
somewhat irrational reason which propelled us into this endeavor
was the ques tioning of Charlie Morgan who often asked if one or
another obscure compound had been synthesized. As often as not, we
were uncertain arid now at least have a reference which, if not
absolutely complete, will at least save face."
