Synthesis of Monofunctionalized Calix[5]arenes

Seven OH-free and O -permethylated monofunctionalized calix[5]arenes carrying either additional methyl or tert -butyl groups are prepared following fragment condensation protocols. This strategy proves to be superior to previous approaches. Calix[5]arenes with free OH groups all adopt a cone conformation stabilized by a seam of hydrogen bonds at the lower rim. Post-condensation modifications, i.e., methylation of phenolic OH groups or functional group interconversions can also be achieved. Bulky tert -butyl groups are also found to stabilize the cone conformations of O -methylated compounds. These compounds offer versatile functional groups that make these concave molecules interesting building blocks for the synthesis of more sophisticated molecular architectures.

Interaction between biphenols and anions: Selective receptor for dihydrogenphosphate

Biphenol was shown to bind dihydrogenphosphate (H2PO 4-) selectively over various other anions (MeCO 2-, Cl-, Br-, I-, NO 3-, HSO4-). The highly selectivity of biphenol toward dihydrogenphosphate is explained in terms of the basicity and shape of the guest anion.

Calix[4]arene-functionalized poly-cyclopenta[2,1-b;3,4-b′] bithioplienes with good recognition ability and selectivity for small organic molecules for application in QCM-based sensors

Some C2v symmetric cyclopenta[2,1-b;3,4-b′]bithiophenes differently substituted at the 4 position with a calix[4]arene group were synthesized and electrochemically polymerized by anodic coupling. The polymers were characterized by cyclic voltam

Syntheses and properties of a new type of Lewis acids incorporating linked bisphenoxide moiety

Several ligands for a new type of Lewis acid, which incorporates two linked phenols, were synthesized and the reaction of these ligands with trimethylaluminum quantitatively gave Lewis acids. These Lewis acids were found to be an efficient promoter for the rearrangement of epoxides to carbonyl compounds as well as a useful protector of acetophenone against hydride-reduction. The VT-NMR spectrum and NOESY spectrum of a 1:1 complex of Lewis acid 2a (methyl[2,2′-(m-xylene-α,α′-diyl)bis(4,6-di-t- butylphenoxido)aluminum and acetophenone provided data on the structure of a complex of acetophenone and 2a.
