Abstract
A convenient synthesis of the first spiro-bound calix[4]arene containing fluorenyl moieties at the para-position is presented. Dynamic NMR effects of the spiro-calixarene 4 are in accord with a preferred partial-cone conformation.

Calixarene 2: To a solution of calixarene 1 (300 mg, 0.52 mmol) in 2-butanone (20 mL) NBS (1.135 g, 6.34 mmol) was added and
the mixture was stirred for 20 h at r.t. An aq solution of Na2S2O3 (20%, 20 mL) was added and the mix-ture was stirred for 20 min before the layers
were separated. The organic layer was washed with H2O (2 × 25 mL) and brine (25 mL), then dried over MgSO4. The solvents were removed on a rotary evaporator to give 430 mg of an orange colored
residue. After flash chromatography (PE-EtOAc, 2:1; R
f
0.26) and subsequent drying in vacuo (100 °C, 1 mbar), calixarene 2 was isolated as a colorless solid; yield: 230 mg (60%).

an aq solution of K2CO3 (2 N, 10 mL) and Pd(PPh3)4 (115 mg, 99 µmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at 120 °C under argon in
