Lewis acid-catalyzed condensation of 1,2- and 1.3-dimethoxybenzenes with paraformaldehyde afforded an ortho-bridged cyclic trimer (1) and a meta-bridged cyclic tetramer (2), respectively. Furthermore, condensation of 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene with paraformaldehyde in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst successfully rendered the first dodecamethoxy-substituted calix[4]arene (3) with high yield. From X-ray crystallography, it was found that 3 formed the partial cone conformation. The conformational behavior of 3 in the solution was investigated by variable temperature (1)H NMR measurements. The partial cone structure observed in the solid state was retained in the solution at low temperatures. Furthermore, because of the slow conformational exchanges of 3 on the NMR time scale, bimodal conformational exchanges were found. The host-guest property of 3 with the electron accepting guest, tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) was examined by UV-Vis measurements, and the ability to associate with the 3-TCNE complex was three times higher than that of the 2-TCNE complex. The observation is due to the superior electron donating property and slow conformational exchanges of 3 compared with those of analogous 2. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
