Abstract

The base-catalyzed condensation of 1-naphthol and formaldehyde in refluxing dimethylformamide affords three isomeric cyclic tetramers which are conformationally flexible over a wide temperature range. Their tetrabenzoate esters however show restricted flexibility. Variable-temperature NMR and low-temperature COSY is used to analyze the conformational preferences of these calix[4]naphthalenes.
