Notes:
The crystal structure of 25,27-dihydroxy-26,28-bis(diethoxyphosphoryloxy)-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (1) (hexane solvate, 1:1) was determined by x-ray crystallography. The crystal data are P21/n, a = 12.652(1) Å, b = 12.564(2) Å, c = 18.781(4) Å, β = 105.56(1)°, V = 2876.0(8) Å3, Z = 2. In this complex the molecule adopts a 1,2-alternate conformation. Both the calixarene and hexane molecules are centrosymmetric. The phenol units in the asymmetric part of the calix are inclined with respect to the main macrocyclic plane by 115.46(6)° and 128.01(7)° for the phosphorylated and the non-phosphorylated ring, respectively. Self-inclusion of the ethyl chains in the half-cavities is observed. One intramolecular O - H…O and several intermolecular C - H…O hydrogen bonds are present. In the 1H NMR spectrum one average AX spin system for methylene bridge protons can be interpreted as fast (on the NMR time-scale) interconversion of non-phosphorylated phenol fragments. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
