Abstract

Wen-Chun Zhang, Yan-Song Zheng and %-Tang Huang* ... Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100080, China. ... Abstract: Calixarenes 1 were directly nitrated with potassium nitrate and aluminum chloride to give p-nitrocalixarenes 2 in good yields. Formation of p-nitrocalix[4]arene (2a) fiom reaction of p-bromomethylcalix[4]arene (3) with siier nitrate is also described. ... Calixarenes are cavity-containing macrocyclic compounds which are ...
