  • Several ABCH type chiral calix[4]arenes were prepared from monoalkyl calix[4]arenes by treating with various acyl halide, followed by reacting with benzoyl chloride in pyridine. These asymmetrically substituted ABCH type calix[4]arenes are obtained as racemates mixture which are confirmed by the chiral shift reagent in 1H NMR spectra. The molecular and crystal structure of 5-nitro-26-allyloxy-25-benzoyloxy-28-isobutyryloxy-27-hydroxycalix[4]arene 8a has been determined by the X-ray diffraction method. Two independent enantiomeric molecules are crystallized in a 1: 1 racemate mixture. They are in the partial cone conformation in which the benzoyloxy phenyl group is down. There is a bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bonding involving three functional groups in each molecule.

  • We have performed mPW1PW91 calculations to investigate the conformational characteristics and hydrogen bonds of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (1), p-tert-butylcalix[5]arene (2), calix[6]arene (3) and p-tertbutylcalix[6]arene (4). The structures of the different conformers of 1-3 were optimized by using mPW1PW91/6-31+G(d,p) method. The relative stability of the four conformers of 1 is in the following order: cone (most stable) > partial-cone > 1,2-alternate > 1,3-alternate. The relative stability of the conformers of 2 is in the following order: cone (most stable) > 1,2-alternate > partial-cone > 1,3-alternate. The relative stability of the various conformers of 3 is in the following order: cone (pinched: most stable) > partial-cone > cone (winged) - 1,2-alternate - 1,2,3-alternate > 1,4-alternate > 1,3-alternate > 1,3,5-alternate. The structures of the various conformers of 4 were optimized by using the mPW1PW91/6-31G(d,p) method followed by single point calculation of mPW1PW91/6-31+G(d,p). The relative stability of the conformers of 4 is in the following order: cone (pinched) > 1,2-alternate > cone (winged) > 1,4-alternate - partial-cone > 1,2,3-alternate > 1,3,5-alternate > 1,3-alternate. The primary factor affecting the relative stabilities of the various conformers of the 1-4 are the number and strength of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen-bond distances are discussed based on two different calculation methods (B3LYP and mPW1PW91).
