Synthesis, structure and anion binding properties of lower rim α-hydroxyamide calix[4]arene derivatives

A new family of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arenes functionalized at the lower rim with α-ketoamide or α-hydroxyamide functions has been prepared. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra indicate that the macrocycles preferably adopt a cone conformation. X-ray crystal study of the α-ketoamide derivative 4a shows the flattened cone conformation in the solid state. Reduction of α-ketoamide 4ab has produced the α-hydroxyamide derivatives 6ab. The introduction of chiral moieties on the lower rim position of the calix[4]arene allowed the synthesis of the chiral derivatives 7 and 8. Host-guest complexation properties towards various anions of the chiral α-hydroxyamide 8 have been examined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. This new receptor has shown promising selectivity for and N-tosyl-(L)-alaninate.

The electrode modified with Langmuir–Blodgett film of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene derivatives with sulfur-containing functionalities for the determination of silver

A new voltammetric sensor, based on a new p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene derivative (TCAD) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique, was designed successfully and used for recognition and determination of Ag⁺. The π?-?A isotherms suggested that the monolayer of TCAD can coordinate with Ag⁺ at the air–water surface. Under the optimum experimental conditions, this voltammetric sensor shows a linear voltammetric response for Ag⁺ in the range of 1.0?×?10^?8?～?6.0?×?10^?6?mol?L^?1 with detection limit 5.0?×?10^?9?mol?L^?1. The high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability of this LB film modified electrode also demonstrate its practical application for a simple, rapid and economical determination of Ag⁺ in water sample.

The new chromophore compounds with NLO properties were prepared by Knoevenagel condensation from forrnyl or diformyl calix[4/arene and isophorone derivatives in the presence of piperidine and acetic acid, respectively. In these chromophore calix[4]arenes, the ring locked trienes were employed as the conjugation bridge and electron acceptor in D-π-A units. The NMR spectra demonstrated that they existed in a cone conformation and consequently non-conjugated D-π-A units could be oriented at nearly the same direction.     

Synthesis and Structure of an Octopus-like Octapropargyl Tetra-iso-butyl-resorcin[4]arene

1 INTRODUCTION Resorcin[4]arene is a cyclic tetramer and can be easily obtained by acid-catalyzed condensation of resorcinol with a variety of aldehydes.

Synthesis and cationic selectivity studies of novel calix[4]arene derivatives containing heteroatom at the lower rim

A series of calixarene derivatives 2―5 containing heteroatom at the lower rim have been synthesized. 1H NMR studies and crystallographic structures demonstrated that the calix[4]arene derivatives adopted cone conformations. Their cationic binding abilities and selectivities towards heavy and tran- sition metal ions have been evaluated by solvent extraction of aqueous metal picrates. The obtained results indicated that the introduction of nitrogen, sulfur, and/or phosphor atoms to the calix[4]arene framework could effectively enhance their binding ability and selectivity for heavy and transition metal ions, such as Pb2 or Ag .

Liquid–liquid extraction and transport through membrane of amino acid methylesters by calix[n]arene derivatives

The extractability together with the transport through liquid membrane of some amino acid methylesters by using p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene as extractant or carrier was studied. In this context, p-tert-butylcalix[n]arenes (n = 6, 8) were found to act as useful carriers or extractant reagents for l-tryptophan methylester and l-tyrosine methylester. The calix[n]arene derivatives used in experiments extracted amino acids methylesters from the aqueous phase into chloroformic phase in the presence of tropaeolin 00 ([4(4′-anilinophenylazo)benzenesulphonic acid]) as counterion at . The extraction and the transport depend on the structure of calixarenes, the structure of amino acids, the pH, and the nature of anion used as ion pair for cation-receptor complexes. The properties of solvent involved in liquid membrane play an important role in membrane stability and also in selecting membrane systems. The results demonstrated that the inclusion properties of the investigated hosts are correlated with their structural properties and also they suggest further possibilities for optimal separation of amino acids derivatives.

Two new β-CD-calix[4]arene coupling products 3,4 which contained one or two β-CD units in molecules were synthesized by ammonolysis of p-tert-butyl-25,27-dihydroxyl-26,28-di (ethoxy carbonyl methoxyl) calix[4]arene 1 and mono-6-ethylenediamino-6-deoxy-β-CD 2, and their structures were confirmed by ¹H NMR, IR and MS (Maldi-Tof). The probable mechanism for forming 3 was discussed also. Using water-insoluble coupling product 3 as an adsorbent, the influences of the adsorption capacities of 3 including initial concentration, temperature and pH onto basic fuchsin (BF) and methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution were investigated. Results showed that the adsorption capability of 3 to BF was obviously higher than that to MB at similar adsorption conditions. The values of %sorption to BF were over 90 % in range of initial concentrations from 20 to 140 mg L^?1 whenas those to MB dropped rapidly from 92 to 58 %. The adsorptions of 3 to both BF and MB obeyed Freundlich adsorption isotherm well.
