The condensation of phenol derivatives (12 substrates) with 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)phenols (BMP) (6 examples) is reported using sulfonated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SO3H@MWCNTs) under solvent-free conditions as starting precursors for the synthesis of macrocyclic molecules of calix[4]arenes. The new protocol provides a series of trisphenol derivatives (21 examples) in high yields (up to 94%) and relatively short reaction times (15-120 min). Also, direct synthesis of calix[4]arenes from different trisphenols by use of the catalyst was reported (5 examples). Furthermore, the synthesized calix[4]arene was obtained using a one-pot method from simple and easily available starting materials such as p-cresol for the synthesis of 5,11,17,23-tetramethylcalix[4]arene-25,26,27,28-tetraol. Also, in this process SO3H@MWCNTs can be reused for seven runs with almost consistent efficiency and can be recovered by easy filtration.

Tungstosilicic acid was found to be an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of trisphenols using the reaction of 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)phenols with phenols in an aqueous medium. The catalytic reactivity of tungstosilicic acid in boiling water was examined with a series of substrates, demonstrating that this catalyst is reactive in the presence of a variety of functionalities.
