Abstract
The fact that 4, 6 or 8 molecules of e.g. p-tert-butylphenol react under certain conditions in a batch procedure with 4, 6 or 8 molecules of formaldehyde to form a single cyclic oligomer, a calixarene in high yield, is most remarkable. Although the mechanism of the formation of calixarenes is far from being well understood it seems clear that it involves the production of hydroxymethylated phenols during the first steps which then, by condensation, lead to higher linear oligomers and finally by cyclisation, to the calixarenes. During these processes it has been suggested that intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds maintain the reacting intermediates in conformations and relative mutual arrangements favorable to the formation of the calixarenes (see Gutsche’s chapter, supra).
