ABSTRACT

The title compound 4’,9’,4”,9”-tetra-tert-butyl-1’,6’,1”,6”-tetramethoxy-2,5-dithia[3.3] metabiphenylophane was synthesized as a calixarene like large-sized metacyclophane from the corresponding 3,3’-bis(chloromethyl)-5,5’-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2,2’-dimethoxy-1,1’-biphenyl and 3,3’-bis (mercaptomethyl)-5,5’-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2,2’-dimethoxy-1,1’-biphenyl via an intermolecular condensation reaction. The compound was characterized using 1H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Its exact conformational structure was determined via single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound has quite strained 1,2-alternate like structure because of its two high dihedral angled and rigid biphenyl parts in the crystal. The crystal includes the two isomers as two different 1,2-alternate like conformers, and the ratio of the two isomers is 78:22.
