Die stufenweise Synthese von 4,11,18,25-Tetra-tert-butyl-[1.1.1.1]metacyclophan-7,14,21,28-tetraol und 4,11-Dimethyl-[1.1.1.1]-metacyclophan-7,14,21,28-tetraol

Two phenolic alcohols with four phenolic units in their molecules are obtained by stepwise synthesis starting from simple phenolic derivatives. The phenolic alcohols are cyclized by boiling of a diluted solution in acetic acid. A third cyclic compound is obtained by debutylation of that cyclic compound which contains two neighbouringtert-butyl groups and two methyl groupspara to the phenolic hydroxyl groups.

Die stufenweise Syntheseo,o′-methylenverbrückter Cyclohexamerer mitp-Kresol- oderP-Kresol- und 4-tert-Butylphenol-Bausteinen Vergleich mit ähnlich strukturierten Kettenoligomeren

Two phenolic alcohols with six phenolic units in their molecules have been obtained by stepwise syntheses starting from simple phenolic derivatives. The phenolic alcohols were cyclized in a one step cyclization by boiling in a very diluted acetic acid solution. A two step cyclization of a phenolic alcohol with three phenolic units to a cyclohexamer proceeds only with poor yields. The cyclic compounds were compared with chainlike oligomers containing six phenolic units in their molecules.
