Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00051a029

A series of host molecules derived from tartaric acid have been synthesized in optically resolved and racemic forms.Apart from two endo hydroxyl functions and four bulky aromatic groups (TADDOL-type = α,α,α',α'-tetraphenyl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanols),
