Abstract

O,O″- and O,O′-bis(2-aminoethyl)-p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arenes of anti conformation have been prepared by the reduction of the corresponding O,O″- and O,O′-bis(cyanomethyl) ethers. Their syn-O,O″- and O,O′-counterparts have been prepared by alternative routes via the Mitsunobu reaction of thiacalix[4]arene with N-(2-hydroxyethyl)phthalimide and the reduction of a O,O′-disiloxanediyl-bridged O″,O‴- bis(cyanomethyl) ether of 1,2-alternate conformation, respectively. These products are expected to serve as useful precursors of highly elaborated synthetic receptors, including biscalixarenes.
