Abstract

Chemists often use an amine group as an intermediate in syntheses of imines, amides and ureas; however, in the case of syntheses of p-aminophenol type compounds, several problems might occur. In this article, we prepared p-aminocalix[5]arene-pentaol by reduction of both nitro and azo derivatives, and compared four methods of the amine preparation, focusing mainly on its gramme scale and time-consuming issues.
