Abstract
The extensive development of the studies on calixarenes has promoted a growing interest in exploring the chemistry of heterocalixarenes in which the phenolic units of calixarenes are replaced by heterocycles. Calixfurans, or tetraoxaporphyrinogens, constitute a major class of heterocalixarenes. In addition to their potential capability as receptor molecules, they have been employed as a versatile molecular platform for further chemical transformation into a variety of macrocyclic compounds by taking advantage of the chemical lability of the furan units. This review summarizes the synthesis, reactions, structures, and host–guest chemistry of calix[n]furans and their hybrid systems containing other aromatic units such as pyrrole and thiophene.
Dedicated to Professor Renji Okazaki on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
