Die stufenweise Synthese von 4,11,18,25-Tetra-tert-butyl-[1.1.1.1]metacyclophan-7,14,21,28-tetraol und 4,11-Dimethyl-[1.1.1.1]-metacyclophan-7,14,21,28-tetraol

Two phenolic alcohols with four phenolic units in their molecules are obtained by stepwise synthesis starting from simple phenolic derivatives. The phenolic alcohols are cyclized by boiling of a diluted solution in acetic acid. A third cyclic compound is obtained by debutylation of that cyclic compound which contains two neighbouringtert-butyl groups and two methyl groupspara to the phenolic hydroxyl groups.
