Popis: 1,3-Alternate calix[4]arenes were prepared, having bulky adamantyl groups in the p-positions of all four aromatic units of the macrocycles and pairs of propargyl or 2-azidoethyl groups alternating with n-propyl groups at the phenol oxygen atoms. The step-wise syntheses were carried out through a selective distal alkylation of the parent p-adamantylcalix[4]arene with propargyl bromide or 1,2-dibromoethane, resulting in calix[4]arenes bearing pairs of propargyl or 2-bromoethyl groups at their narrow rims. The bromine atoms were replaced by azide groups, and then both calix[4]arene diethers were exhaustively alkylated at the remaining OH-groups with 1-iodopropane under stereoselective conditions to fix the macrocycles in an 1,3-alternate shape. The structures of the prepared p-adamantylcalix[4]arenes were confirmed by NMR and HRMS data, and, for the 1,3-alternate dipropargyl ether, the X-ray diffraction data were also collected. Preliminary data on the reactivity of the prepared calixarenes under the CuAAC conditions suggested a strong steric hampering created by the adamantane units nearby the reacting alkyne or azide groups that affected the outcome of the two-fold cycloaddition involving the calixarene bis(azides) or bis(alkynes) as complementary partners.
