A new route for the partial displacement of OH groups of p-tert-butylcalixarene via spirodienol derivatives is described. NaBH4 reduction of the bis(spirodienone) calixarene derivatives 2a-2c afforded the corresponding bis(spirodienols) 3a-3c in stereospecific fashion. H-1 NMR NOESY spectroscopy indicated that in the case of 2a, the reaction proceeds by attack at the exo face of the two carbonyls (the face located anti to the spiro C-O bond). The spirodienols readily revert to p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene when heated. The reaction of 3a with the deoxofluorinating agent DAST (Et2NSF3) afforded a mixture of extraannular substituted calixarenes possessing one or two fluoro-substituted dehydroxylated rings. The bisfluorinated calixarene 6a adopts in the crystal a conformation (1,3-alternate) similar to that adopted in solution by the di-dehydroxylated calixarene 6b. An experiment conducted with a selectively deuterated spirodienol derivative indicated that the deoxofluorination reaction involves regiospecific nucleophilic attack at the gamma position of the pentadienol subunit.
