INTERACTION OF RESORCINOL-OCTANAL CYCLOTETRAMER WITH BIS(N,N-DIETHYLAMIDO)MENTHYLPHOSPHITE

The interaction of octahydroxytetraheptyl[1(4)]methacyclophane 1 with bis(N,N-diethylamido)menthylphosphite under mild conditions with a dif ferent ratio of initial reagents (1:8, 1:4, 1:2) yields either the com pletely phosphorylated optically active product (for ratio 1:8), or th e product of partial phosphorylation (for ratio 1:4); the correspondin g phosphates and thiophosphates also were obtained. An optically inact ive product with two tetraresorcinol fragments united by phosphite bri dges is formed under more severe reaction conditions and with a ratio of reagents 1:2.
