New partially alkylated calix[6]arenes have been synthesized. Depending on the  conditions, mono-, 1,2-di-, 1,3-di, 1,2,3-tri-, 1,3,5-tri-, 1,2,4,5-tetra-, and  1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylated derivatives of p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene could be  obtained in moderate to good yields. Methylation or benzylation of the parent  calix[6]arene showed a regioselectivity towards 1,2-di-, and 1,2,3-trisubstitution.  The solid state structure of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene  [R=O(CH2CH2O)2CH3] has been  elucidated by X-ray analysis.
