Synthesis of an inherently chiral O,O′-bridged thiacalix[4]crowncarboxylic acid and its application to a chiral solvating agent
摘要:
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 H-1 NMR spectroscopy.

The first and facile synthesis of 25,26-bridged thiacalix[4]crowns (2a–f) is disclosed by treatment of readily available 25,26-O-tetraisopropyldisiloxanediyl-capped p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene (3) with difunctional alkylating agents (5a–f) and subsequent desilylation.
