The complexation of a calix[4]resorcarene host (2,8,14,20-tetraundecylcalix[4]arene-4,6,10,12,16,18,22,24-octol) with borneol in benzene or alkylbenzene was investigated by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The binding constants are dramatically solvent-dependent and decrease with respect to the substituents on the benzene ring in the order H>methyl>ethyl>propyl>butyl. The complexation of the same host with alkyl benzoates in limonene as a chiral hydrocarbon solvent was readily monitored by following their competitive inhibition effects on the CD intensities, reflecting the chiral host-solvent interaction. The binding constants for alkyl benzoates were again highly dependent on the alkyl groups, and changed in the order decylhexylmethylpropyl≈pentyl?butyl. There is thus an optimal chain length at butyl. These results provide further evidence for the selective incorporation of alkyl groups in the polyhydroxy aromatic cavity of the host.

Macrolactones constitute a privileged class of natural and synthetic products with a broad range of applications in the fine chemicals and pharmaceutical industry. Despite all the progress made towards their synthesis, notably from seco-acids, a macrolactonization promoter system that is effective, selective, flexible, readily available, and, insofar as possible, compatible with manifold functional groups is still lacking. Herein, we describe a strategy that relies on the formation of a mixed anhydride incorporating a pentafluorophenyl group which, due to its high electronic activation enables a convenient access to macrolactones, macrodiolides and esters with a broad versatility. Kinetic studies and DFT computations were performed to rationalize the reactivity of the pentafluorophenyl group in macrolactonization reactions.

Page 9504. The structure of product 3cc in Table 2 was found to be mis-assigned. We thank Prof. Phil Baran and Dr. Rafael Navratil for bringing this error to our attention. The correct structure contains an additional benzylic alcohol at the C-9 position of the steroid (3cc′, shown below). With the accompanying change in molecular weight, the isolated yield is 29%. Supporting Information. The incorrect structure and yield also appeared on pages S20 and S84 in the SI. Given this, the HRMS entry on page S20 should read as follows: “HRMS (ESI-TOF) m/z calcd for C19H18F3O5S+ (M-O+Na)+ 415.0822, found 415.0857”. The complete corrected SI is provided here.
