32. In addition to 3a and 4a, tripropoxy-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene and tripropoxycalix[4]monoquinone were also isolated in 35% and 5% yield, respectively.
33. It is well known that 2,5-cyclohexadienone derivatives with two groups in position 4 undergo 1,2-migration of one of these groups (the dienone-phenol rearrangement) to afford phenolic compounds. For a review, see:. Miller B. Acc. Chem. Res. 8 (1975) 245-256

41. Notwithstanding the special interest for the inherent chirality of meta-substituted calix[4]arenes, functionalizations at the meta-position are relatively uncommon. For some representative examples, see:. Reddy P.A., and Gutsche C.D. J. Org. Chem. 58 (1993) 3245-3251
