Abstract
Base‐catalyzed condensation of 1,2‐bis[5‐tert‐butyl‐3‐(5‐tert‐butylsalicyl)‐2‐hydroxyphenyl]ethane (8) with formaldehyde in xylene affords a novel ethylene‐bridged calixarene‐analogous macrocyclic metacyclophane. However, not the desired 2 has been obtained. Instead, the novel macrocyclic compounds pentahydroxy[2.1.2.1.1]‐ (9) and hexahydroxy‐[2.1.1.1.1.1]metacyclophane (10) have been isolated in 35 and 25% yields, respectively. The mechanism for the above disproportionation occurring during the base‐catalyzed condensation of 8 to afford these macrocyclic metacyclophanes and their ^1^H‐NMR spectral behavior are discussed.
