S. Felix et al., Synthesis and conformational analysis of p-tert-butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene derivatives containing the carbonyl group, TETRAHEDRON, 55(28), 1999, pp. 8539-8546
Three novel tetraketones (methyl, adamantyl and tert-butyl) and the first t
etraamide (diethylamide) derived from p-tert-butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene we
re obtained and their conformations established by NMR studies. Tetramethyl
ketone was isolated in two different conformations, partial cones A and B,
respectively, and the other derivatives were all obtained in the cone confo
rmation The conformational behaviour of the tetramethylketone conformers wa
s studied by means of temperature dependent H-1-NMR. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scie
