Cycloenantiomeric hexahomooxacalix[3]arenes with different substituents on
the three upper rims were synthesized for the first time by fixing their co
nformation into a cone, A cycloenantiomeric hexahomooxacalix[3]arene 6 was
resolved into both enantiomeric forms and chiroptically characterized. Prel
iminary H-1-NMR studies indicated that the optically resolved cycloenantiom
er 6 could discriminate the enantiomers of hydrochloride of phenylalanine e
thyl ester.
