The Mannich reaction involving amines, amino alcohols, aminoacetals, aminophosphonates, and aminophosphine oxides is one of the most convenient methods of functionalization of calix[4]resorcinols [1][2][3][4][5]. Thus obtained macromolecules are used as the supramolecular catalysts, extractants, and precursors in the synthesis of new macromolecular compounds [1,[6][7][8].In the present work we investigated the possibility of modifying calix[4]resorcinol with γ-aminobutyric acid by the Mannich reaction. γ-Aminobutyric acid and its derivatives are used as neurotransmitters in the central nervous system [9]. Recently it was shown that the complex based on 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis[carboxymethoxy]-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene with γ-aminobutyric acid has prolonged anticonvulsant activity [10]. Furthermore, amino acid molecules are often used as additional pharmacophore groups and are key intermediates in the synthesis of many biologically important molecules [11].Interaction of calix[4]resorcinol I with formaldehyde and γ-aminobutyric acid II in aqueous ethanol medium at a ratio of the initial reactants of 1 : 4 : 4 led to the formation of the products of incomplete substitution of the macrocycle. In the ESI mass spectrum of the precipitate obtained there were the signals of m/z 716, 831, 946, indicating the presence of mono-, di-, and trisubstituted calixarene macrocycles, respectively.We found that the optimal solution for the reaction performing was ethanol-water-DMSO mixture allowing to obtain calix[4]resorcinol comprising four amino acid III fragments at the upper rim of the molecule in a yield of 68%.The reaction of calix[4]resorcinol I with formaldehyde and γ-aminobutyric acid II in a ratio of 1 : 8 : 4 under reflux led to the formation of oxazine derivative IV in a high yield (Scheme 1).Structure and composition of the synthesized compounds III and IV were confirmed by IR, NMR 1 H and 13 C spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (ESI) and elemental analysis data. 23-dodecaene (III). A solution of 0.35 g (3.34 mmol) of amino acid II in 5 mL of water, 0.28 g (3.34 mmol) of 37% aqueous solution of formaldehyde and 20 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide were added successively to a mixture of 0.5 g (0.83 mmol) of calix[4]resorcinol I in 5 mL of ethanol. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 h. The solvent was distilled off in vacuum. The residue was re-precipitated from chloroform to hexane, washed with water and dried in vacuum to constant weight. Yield 0.68 g (68%), mp 177-178°C.
