Abstract

Treatment of readily available O,O′-1,1,3,3-tetraisopropyldisiloxane- 1,3-diyl-bridged p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene (1) with tri(ethylene glycol) di-p-tosylate and subsequent desilylation gave O,O′-bridged thiacalix[4]crown 3 in an excellent yield. Mono-O-alkylation of 3 with ethyl bromoacetate, followed by optical resolution by chiral HPLC, and subsequent hydrolysis of the ester moiety gave inherently chiral O,O′-bridged thiacalix[4]crowncarboxylic acid (+)-6, which clearly discriminated enantiomeric primary amines, as well as amino esters, by 1H NMR spectroscopy.
