✦ Synopsis
Thiacalix[4]arenes were alkylated using procedures well established in 'classical' calixarene chemistry (PrI/K 2 CO 3 /acetone or PrI/NaH/DMF) to reveal conformational preferences in the thiacalixarene series. Surprisingly, the conformer distribution of tetraalkylated products is different from that of calix[4]arene. The 1,3-alternate conformers are well accessible in high yields (>60%) while the cone conformation forms only in very low yields (<20%). Moreover, the conformational outcome of the alkylation strongly depends on the upper rim substitution (tert-butyl versus H).

p-(1-Adamantyl)thiacalix[4]arene was synthesized both by condensation of p-(1-adamantyl)phenol with sulfur in the presence of NaOH and by alkylation of p-H -thiacalix[4]arene with 1-adamantanol in trifluoroacetic acid. Using the latter method, the first thiacalix[4]arene carboxylated at the upper ri
A direct nitration of the upper rim of thiacalix [4]arenes is not possible due to the undesirable oxidation of the sulphur atoms during the nitration step leading to very complicated reaction mixtures. On the other hand, thiacalix[4]arene derivatives can be at first transformed intentionally to the
Upper rim bromination of thiacalix [4]arene has been achieved for the first time using a distally disubstituted thiacalix[4]arene as a starting material. Depending on the bromine:thiacalix[4]arene ratios, the corresponding dibromo-and tetrabromo derivatives were obtained which opens the door for sub
