A convenient method for preparing various p-tert-butylcalix[6]crowns and related compounds has been developed. By refluxing p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene with ethylene glycol ditosylate or polyethylene glycol ditosylates using K2CO3 as a base in acetonitrile, 1,2-ethylenecalix[6]arene, 1,3- and 1,4-calix[6]crown-3, 1,3- and 1,4-calix[6]crown-4, 1,4-calix[6]benzocrown-4, 1,2- and 1,3-calix[6]crown-5 were obtained selectively. A rather flattened (o, o, o, o, o, o) conformation, adopted by the constrained 1,4-calix[6]crown-3 at ambient temperature, was observed for the first time. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Several 1,4-bridged calix[6]arene tetraesters were prepared from 1,4-p-tert-calix[6]crown-4's by etherifying with ethyl bromoacetate. It was found that the 1,4-p-tert-calix[6]crown-4 tetraethylester (3a) and the 1,4-p-tert-calix[6]benzocrown-4 tetramethylester (4b) exhibit very high selectivity toward lithium and sodium ions, respectively. The ion selectivity is very sensitive to the structure of polyoxyethylene spacer and the R in the ester moiety. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The synthesis and complexation properties of the first example of p-tert-butylcalix[6]-1,4-2,5-bis-crowns are reported. Their complexation abilities and selectivities are different from that of analogous calix[6]crown. Compound 2b exhibits high complexation selectivity towards n-PrNH3+. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
