A straightforward synthesis of heteroglycoclusters based p-t-butylcalix [4]arene has been achieved. The key step is the formation of hetero-halopentyloxy-p-t-butylcalix [4]arene mixture via haloalkylation with 1-bromo-5-chloropentane as asymmetric alkylating reagent. Subsequent selective exchange of bromide by azide under mild conditions provides selectively azido-chloro species suitable for click reaction with first propargylglycoside. The products here can then be subjected to further azidation to enable attachment of different glycosides via click chemistry reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
