O-Alkylation of the flexible thiacalix[4]arene 1 with 2-chloromethyl-1-methyl-1H-imidazole 2 in the presence of Na₂CO₃ or K₂CO₃ afforded mono-O-alkylation product 3 in 29–51% yield, along with recovery of the starting compound. In contrast, the same... Read More about Synthesis and evaluation of a novel ionophore based on a thiacalix[4]arene derivative bearing imidazole units.
