Abstract
Compounds 2–6 were synthesized by starting from the pyridine‐bridged calix[6]arenes 1. Most of these derivatives exist in a concave conformation like their parent compounds 1, but in some cases the conformational behavior is different. Relative basicities of 1–6 and of the open‐chain model compounds 7 were measured by a photometrical titration against thymol blue. An unexpectedly high basicity of 1–4 was found.
