Abstract

The meta-iodo derivative, fixed in the cone conformation, enables the gram-scale preparation of a meta-bridged calix[4]arene. This intermediate, possessing a fluorene moiety within the macrocyclic skeleton, can be regioselectively alkylated on the corresponding methylene bridge to form a unique substitution pattern in classical calixarene chemistry.
