  • chiral calix[4]arenes (±)-1 and (±)-2 containing a quaternary ammonium moiety together with a hydroxymethyl and diarylmethanol moiety in an optically pure form, respectively (Figure 1) [37]. In order to see the beneficial effect of the diarylmethanol structure in this catalysts, they were applied to the
  • asymmetric phase-transfer catalysis based on inherently chiral calix[4]arenes, although the asymmetric induction observed remained moderate. Su et al. demonstrated a new approach for the design of a chiral binary integrative phase-transfer catalyst consisting of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene and a cinchonine
  • investigated. Under optimized conditions, up to 47% ee was obtained by alkylation of 3 with 4-methylbenzyl bromide in the presence of 5 mol % catalyst 12. Henry reaction Since lower-rim functionalization of calix[4]arene is relatively easy, a variety of inherently chiral calix[4]arenes substituted at the lower
