5,17-Diformyl-25,26,27,28-tetrabenzyloxycalix[4]arene: functionalization of the upper rim of a calix[4]arene

A. Decken, P. D. Harvey and J. Douville

Abstract: The structure of the title compound, C $_{58}$ H $_{48}$ O, is an important example for the functionalization of the upper rim of calix[4]arene molecules. The molecule adopts a pinched cone conformation, placing the formyl groups away from each other.
