Two calix[4]pyrroles as a betaa beta isomers were prepared by the reactions
of pyrrole with asymmetry ketones in high yields. In addition, two single
crystals of calix[4]pyrrole 2 and 2 . MeOH were solved by X-ray analysis, w
hich further proved that either in free form or inclusion complex calix[4]p
yrrole 2 is a betaa beta isomer and adopts 1,3-alternate conformation.
