Abstract The formation of p-tert-butylcalix[5]arene by the opening ofp-tert-butyldihomooxacalix [4]arene and the addition of a monomer has beenstudied. Various facets, including the effects of bases and the nature ofthe monomer added to the p-tert-butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene, have beeninvestigated. p-tert-Butylcalix[5]arene can be prepared in yields up to30%. The structure of its 1 : 2 complex with DMF has been determinedby X-ray crystallography. Crystals are triclinic, space group P¯1, a =1428.2(3) pm, b = 1837.3(3) pm, c = 1276.1(2) pm, α = 108.98(1)°,β = 105.02(2)°, γ = 95.21(1)°, Z = 2, D c = 1.059 kg m-3,final R value = 0.087. The macrocycle adopts a cone conformation, one guestenclosed inside the cavity, the other one outside.
