A series of p-tetra-tert-butyl calix[4]arene derivatives with alkyl guanidinium or chiral bicyclic guanidinium functionalities were synthesized as the receptors of organic anions. Mono- and di-alkyl guanidinium derivatives were prepared by the reaction of 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-(2-aminoethoxy)-26,28-dihydroxy calix[4]arene (1) with methyl isothiourea sulphate. While mono- and di-chiral bicyclic guanidinium derivatives were all obtained via an O-alkylation reaction of p-tetra-tert-butyl calix[4]arene with chloromethyl chiral bicyclic guanidinium (6 or 7) in the presence of anhydrous K2CO3 in acetonitrile, good yields were only observed for mono-substituted derivatives.
