Except for the special case of calix[4]arene diethyl ether 1 , the chlorine dioxide oxidation of dialkyl ethers 2 – 5 yielded only the corresponding calix[4]diquinone dialkyl ethers 8 – 11 . Chlorine dioxide oxidation of calix[4]arene diethyl ether 1 produced two isomeric products 6 and 7 , which were stable enough to be isolated by column chromatography. However, a slow conformational interconversion between isomeric pair 6 and 7 was observed at room temperature, and the equilibrium was reached after 400 h at 18 °C with an amount of 5:3 in favor of syn -isomer. |
