Synthesis and Molecular Structure of Calix[4]arene Butanoate 1,2-Alternate Conformer

摘要

Three conformational isomers of calix[4]arene butanoate were isolated from the reaction of calix[4]arene and butanoyl chloride in the presence of NaH and their structures were determined by NMR spectra as 1,2-alternate 2a, partial cone 2b and 1,3-alternate conformer 2c, respectively. The crystal structure of 2a has been determined by X-ray diffraction method. The crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c, a=18.435 (4), b=13.774 (2), c=16.941 (3) ∈, モ =116.23 (1)∑, Z=4, V=3858.8 (12)∈3, Dc=1.21 g cm-3, Dm=1.21 g cm-3. The molecule is in the 1,2-alternate conformation. It has two-fold symmetry axis along the line connecting between C (7AA`) and C (7BB`) parallel to the b axis of crystal lattice.
