Facile synthetic routes to bridge-functionalised calix[4]arenes†
Abstract
Ring-opening of furans at the equatorial methylene bridge positions of a calix[4]arene gives access to a range of new molecules (in good yield) that have widespread potential impact in supramolecular chemistry amongst other areas.
