Abstract

The reaction of p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene with (+)-camphor-10-sulfonyl chloride gives either a mono-O-sulfonylated product or the fully O-sulfonylated calixarene. The crystal structure of mono-O-camphorsulfonylated p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene suggests that its sluggish reaction with further sulfonyl chloride can probably be explained by a conformation in which the narrow rim is covered by the camphor residue.

The relative orientation of neighboring aryl rings in calixarenes can be determined from the difference in chemical shift of the two doublets of the CH2 group. See ref. 2, p. 110ff.
