Effects of solvent and base on the reaction of p-cresol with formaldehyde were studied using a liquid SIMS method. In all cases, complex mixtures of p-methylcalix[n]arenes were obtained and selectivities depended on the cation type and solvent used. Two pure products, p-methylcalix[7]arene and p-methylcalix[8]arene, were isolated.
