The hydroxide ion catalysed phosphorylation of p-t- butylcalix [4] arene by diethyl chlorophosphate under heterogeneous conditions shows a marked sensitivity to the nature of the phase transfer catalyst used. Thus, substitution of tetraethylammonium bromide for the tetrabutylammonium bromide prescribed for the synthesis of the calixarene tetraphosphate leads to a major reaction product becoming a bis (phosphate) in which the calixarene binds as a unidentate ligand to one phosphorus and as a bidentate ligand to the other. An X-ray crystal structure analysis on this new compound shows the calixarene to adopt a somewhat distorted 'cone' conformation with an unusual orientation of one of the t-butyl substituents into the cone cavity. It also reveals that a significant diastereoselectivity must operate in the formation reaction. The only other reaction product detected in this system appears to be the calixarene tetraphosphate in a partial cone conformation.

The synthesis and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of 25,27- di(allyloxy)-5,17-di-t-butyl-26,28-dimethoxycalix[4]arene are recorded. Crystals are monoclinic, C2/c, a 29.089(5), b 10.742(2), c 26.218(8) Ǻ, β 110.09(2)°, Z = 8; the structure was refined to a residual of 0.065 for 4103 independent 'observed' [I > 3σ(I)] reflections. The flattened partial cone conformation of the molecule allows inclusion of one of the methoxy substituents in a way which could block inclusion of a metal ion capable of polyhapto aromatic coordination and which may therefore explain why solution n.m.r. measurements indicate that silver(I) binds to the pendent alkene groups.

A research has been conducted to synthesize thiomethylated-C-4-methoxyphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene using fennel oil as a starting material. The synthesis was carried out in four steps i.e. (1) oxidation of anethole to yield p-anisaldehyde, (2) HCl-catalyzed condensation of p-anisaldehyde with resorcinol, (3) chloromethylation of C-4-methoxyphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene with paraformaldehyde and HCl in the presence of ZnCl2 to yield tetrakis-chloromethyl-C-4-methoxyphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene, and (4) reaction of tetrakis-chloromethyl-C-4-methoxyphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene with thiourea followed by hydrolysis with sodium hydroxide solution to yield tetrakis-thiomethyl-C-4-methoxyphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene. The prepared compounds were characterized based on melting point, FT-IR, and NMR spectrometers. According to the analysis of 1H-NMR spectrometer, C-4-methoxyphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene and tetrakis-chloromethyl-C-4-methoxyphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene were observed in the chair or flattened partial cone conformation, while tetrakis-thiomethyl-C-4-methoxyphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene tend to exist in the crown or cone conformation.

O-Alkylation of the flexible macrocycle 1 with 4-(chloromethyl)pyridine gave di- and tri- O-alkylated products with cone or partial-cone conformation which ratio was affected by NaH or alkali metal carbonates used as a base.

Alkylation of p-t-butylcalix[6]arene with ethyl 4-bromobutanoate in the presence of K2CO3 results in a potassium salt of the monodeprotonated 1,2,3-tri(ethoxycarbonylpropyl)-p-t-butylcalix[6]arene in high yield. X-Ray crystallographic analysis shows that this compound exists as a double partial cone conformation. The potassium ion is positioned near the centre of the cavity of the macrocycle and binds to four phenolic oxygens. Close contacts between the potassium ion and phenyl rings observed in this compound are indicative of the presence of the cation–π interaction. The molecules are connected via intermolecular K+···O interactions into infinite chains.
