Abstract

Ortho-tert-butylcalixarenes 3, 4 and 5 with exo-hydroxy groups were synthesised by tin tetrachloride-promoted condensation of 2, 2′-dihydroxy-3, 3′-di-tert- butyldiphenylmethane 6 with formaldehyde. While 1H NMR analysis of compounds 3, 4 and 5 revealed a considerable annular flexibility in CDCl3 solution, their X-ray single crystal analysis showed the presence of a strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the ...
