4. Crown ethers are molecular “hosts” that are also polyether ionophores.
   
   
   1. Crown ethers are useful for conducting reactions with ionic reagents in nonpolar
      solvents.
   
   
   2. The 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Charles J. Pedersen, Donald
      J. Cram, and Jean-Marie Lehn for their work on crown ethers and related
      compounds (host-guest chemisty).
   
   
   
   

11.1 STRUCTURE AND NOMENCALTURE

1. Alcohols are compounds whose molecules have a hydroxyl group attached to a
   saturated carbon atom.
