A rational approach to calix[n]furan precursors

Abstract

Several of the title compounds Cn are known to be available by cyclisation of the linear precursors with acetone and hydrochloric acid. A two-step synthesis of these linear precursors, Ln, with n = 4–9, and thus potentially of the title compounds, has been developed involving: (i) synthesis of the corresponding mono- or di-ketones from lithiofurans and tertiary amides; and (ii) gem-dimethylation at the keto group(s) using titanium tetrachloride and dimethylzinc.
