I. Bitter et al., STUDIES ON CALIX(AZA)CROWNS, .1. SYNTHESIS, ALKYLATION REACTIONS AND COMPREHENSIVE NMR INVESTIGATION OF CAPPED CALIX[4]ARENES, Tetrahedron, 53(28), 1997, pp. 9799-9812
Calix[4]arenes capped by diamide bridges in 1,3-position on the lower
rim were synthesized. Regioselective alkylations of compounds 2 afford
ed, 2, 4 O- and N-alkylated derivatives. Comprehensive NMR investigati
ons were made to reveal the conformation of calix(aza)crowns 2, 3, 4.
