Synthesis of pillar[7]arene

The first synthesis of pillar[7]arene is reported with two methods.Method A:the FeCl_3-catalyzed condensation reaction of 1,4- dimethoxybenzene(1) with paraformaldehyde in CHCl_3 gave dimethoxypillar[7]arene(3).Method B:the p-toluenesulfonic acid catalyzed condensation reaction of 2,5-bis(benzyloxym...

Zusammenfassung:The first synthesis of pillar[7]arene is reported with two methods.Method A:the FeCl_3-catalyzed condensation reaction of 1,4- dimethoxybenzene(1) with paraformaldehyde in CHCl_3 gave dimethoxypillar[7]arene(3).Method B:the p-toluenesulfonic acid catalyzed condensation reaction of 2,5-bis(benzyloxymethyl)-1,4-dimethoxybenzene(2) in CH_2Cl_2 gave compound 3.Demethylation of 3 with BBr_3 gave pillar[7]arene(4).The pillar[7]arene might be a perspective macrocyclic host in host-guest chemistry.
