Abstract
This project was focused on synthesis of octa-tailed calix[4]resorcinarenes functionalized with pendant alpha-(diethyl acetamide) or alpha-(methyl acetate), preparation of Langmuir films and Langmuir-Blodgett films of the calix[4]resorcinarenes, and characterization of these compounds in solution and the Langmuir-Blodgett films. The octa-tailed calix[4]resorcinarene was synthesized by the cyclooligomerization of resorcinol and alpha,alpha-dihexyl acetaldehyde under acid-catalyzed conditions. The functionalized octa-tailed calix[4]resorcinarenes were obtained by substitution reaction with 2-bromo-NN-diethylacetamide or methyl bromoacetate under basic conditions. Langmuir films of the octa-tailed resorcin[4]arenes and their amide and ester derivatives were fabricated at the air/water interface. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
