31. Only two examples of hetero-1,2-dialkylation are known, though these compounds were obtained after several steps involving protection/ deprotection sequences: (a) Iwamoto, K.; Shimizu, H.; Araki, K.; Shinkai, S. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 3997-4006.

33. Chawla, H. M.; Pathak, M. Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. 1991, 128, 232-243. A partial cone isomer was suggested as the major product on the basis of the NMR spectrum.
34. In our hands, at 1 M calixarene concentration (Chawla's conditions), a mixture of the symmetrical partial cone isomer 2 (49%), the asymmetric partial cone isomer 3 (26%), and the cone isomer (25%) in an 83% isolated yield was obtained.

38. Compound 8 was actually isolated as a mixture of a 1,3-alternate and a partial cone isomer, which could not be separated by crystallization or column chromatography.
