Four calix[5]arenes, which have three different substituents at the upper rim of calix, are synthesized by the ‘3+2’ fragmentation condensation reaction. An equimolar mixture of p-substituted phenol trimer (BCB) and 2,2’-bishydroxymethyl p-substituted phenol dimer (AA) was refluxed for 3.5 days in xylene to produce calix[5]arenes 5a-d in 27-32% isolated yield. The structure of the calix[5]arenes was established by elemental analysis and 1H NMR/13C NMR spectroscopy.
