β¦ Synopsis
The first examples of singly bridged calix [7]arenes 2-4 have been obtained by base-promoted direct O-alkylation of p-tert-butylcalix [7]arene with a variety of bis-electrophiles including BrCH 2 Cl, oligoethylene glycol ditosylates, and 1,4-bis(bromomethyl)benzene. 1,2-Bridging was favored with 'short bite' spanning elements, while the 1,4-isomer predominated with the others (yields up to 72% in the presence of Cs 2 CO 3 ). Assignment of bridging pattern was mainly based on chemical shift of OH groups, in some cases confirmed by 2D NMR experiments. A hampered conformational mobility, depending on the position and nature of the bridge, was observed for compounds 2-4.

Alkylation of p-rert-butylcalix[5]arene with oligoethylene glycol-ditosylates in the presence of CsF affords the 1,3-bridged calix[S]crowns la-c in 51 to 72% yield. In the case of hexaethylene glycol the isomeric 1,2-bridged calix[5]crown-7 2c was obtained additionally. The calixcrowns were further
p-terbButylcalix arene analogs in which up to four methylene bridges were replaced by sulfur bridge(s) were synthesized. NMR studies indicated that the thiacalixarenes were conformationally much more fle~dble than the parent calixarene in CDCh solution; the flexibility was greater with increasing nu
