Double and triple calix[4]arenis connected via the oxygen functions

1990

New macrocyclic molecules are described containing two or three p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene subunits connected via their oxygen atoms. These macrocycles are available by two general methods which are capable of producing assemblies with bridges of varying rigidity and length.

Regioselective synthesis of calixcrowns derived from p-tert-butylcalix[5]arene

1993

Abstract Alkylation of p-tert-butylcalix[5]arene with oligoethylene glycol-ditosylates in the presence of CsF affords the 1,3-bridged calix[5]crowns 1a–c in 51 to 72% yield. In the case of hexaethylene glycol the isomeric 1,2-bridged calix[5]crown-7 2c was obtained additionally. The calixcrowns were further modified by alkylation of the remaining hydroxyl groups.

Inherently Chiral Calixarenes

1994

Due to the nonplanarity of the basic 1 n -metacyclophane system, calixarenes and resorcarenes can be transformed into molecules with inherent chirality. Various attempts to achieve this goal are reviewed. Special emphasis is given to derivatives with C n -symmetry, including derivatives of spherand calixarenes and other calixarene-like macrocycles.

Calix[4]arenes bridged at the lower rim

1990

Calix[41 arenes, in which two opposite p-positions are linked by an aliphatic chain, and their derivatives show transport or complexation properties strongly dependent on the length of this chain. Bicyclo-calix[4]arenes, a special case of 1,3-bridged calix[41 arenes, and annelated calix[41 arenes, a special case of 1 ,&bridged calix [4] arenes, are also described. Although the preferred conformation of calix[4]arenes is the coneconformation due to its stabilization by a cyclic array of hydrogen bonds between the phenolic hydroxyl goups, these molecules are flexible, with a cone to cone inversion rate of about 150 8-1 for a calix[glarene at 47OC (ref. 1). The cone (or any other) conformation…
