Abstract

The conversion of axially chiral tetraalkoxyresorcin[4]arenes (cyclochiral resorcinarenes) into the related tetrakis(triflates) in high yields is described; this provides an efficient source of chiral materials for use in palladium-catalyzed transformations, including the reductive removal of triflate groups and the synthesis of compounds that are formally derived from 3-aminophenol, providing axially chiral derivatives that are nitrogen-substituted on the upper rim.
