Azide Decomposition as a Pathway to Intramolecularly Upper Rim-Bridged Calix[4]arenes
Keyword(s):
Proximally single-atom bridged calix[4]arenes possess a rigidified cavity and, thus, unusual complexation properties. Here, we report on the synthesis of the first such heteroatom-bridged compound: amine-bridged calix[4]arene. This compound, prepared by thermal decomposition of 4-azidocalix[4]arene, was obtained alongside very interesting rearranged inherently chiral 10H-azepino[1,2-a]indole derivatives. NMR titration confirmed the suitability of amine cavity for the complexation of methylamonnium cations; moreover, the -NH- bridge function enables its further derivatization.
