Abstract

Abstract: Calix [Narenes (N= 4, 6, 8) have been converted into polyfunctional esters and ketones in a search for new macrocycles capable of showing ionophoric activity. Treatment with alkyl bromoacetates furnished the calixaryl acetate series, whereas chloroacetone- potassium iodide, phenacyl chloride, I-adamantyl bromomethyl ketone, and bromopinacolone were used to make the calixaryl ketones series. The crystal structures of ...
