| Research Abstract |
Chiral calixresorcinarenes were prepared via mono-O-benzyl derivatives. Thier molecular chirality were investigated by NMR spectroscopy. The NMR titration of the macrocycle with a chiral trimethylammonium compound showed the host-guest complexation with enantioselective molecular recognition ability.
Two bromine substituents were selectively introduced at the diametrical positions of calixresorcinarene. The regioselectivity of the bromination was discussed.
Introduction of thiomethyl groups between two hydroxyl groups on the resorcinol nuclei was conducted. By using this method, macrocycles having a deep hydrophobic cavity were synthesized.
The acid-catalyzed condensation of 2-alkylresorcinols with formaldehyde was investigated. The reaction gave cyclic tetramer, pentamer and hexamer as major products. The pentamer and hexamer readily isomerized to the tetramer under acidic conditions. The pentamer was isolated and characterized by spectroscopy.
The functionalized calixresorcinarenes prepared in this study are promising building blocks for the construction of novel molecules in the field of supramolecular chemistry.
