Abstract

Calix[n]arenes are a well known class of macrocyclic compounds [1]in supramolecular chemistry. The introduction of chirality into calix[n]arenes offers the possibility to study chiral recognition phenomena in host–guest interactions. Therefore our interest focused on new methods to synthesize enantiomerically pure calix[n]arenes. [2]Here, we wish to report a new method which makes enantiomerically pure calix[n]arenes with different ring sizes readily accessible.
