The Spirodienone Route for the Functionalization of Calixarenes
Publication History
Publication Date:
18 December 2002 (online)
Abstract
Mild oxidation of calixarenes affords their spirodienone derivatives. These derivatives are useful synthetic intermediates for the selective functionalization of calixarenes. The presence of several functionalities (carbonyl, ether, diene) within the calix scaffold enables them to undergo a large number of synthetic transformations. The spirodienone calixarene derivatives have been utilized for the selective derivatization of two vicinal OH groups, the replacement of one or two OH groups, the formation of Ar-O-Ar bonds between neighboring aryl groups, the functionalization of the calix scaffold at the extraannular positions (via spirodienol derivatives), and the modification of the methylene groups.
