Abstract

Abstract: The condensation of p-tert-butylphenol with formaldehyde to form cyclic oligomers has been investigated as part of a program concerned with the synthesis of enzyme model catalysts. The product of this condensation has been shown to comprise four identifiable materials which, because of their shape, have been named calixarenes (Greek calix, chalice; arene, indicating the incorporation of aromatic rings). The distribution of these ...
