title: Tetraaddition of PhLi to a ketocalixarene derivative.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Reaction of a ketocalixarene with 2.2 equiv or an excess of PhLi affords diaddition and tetraaddition products, respectively. Ionic hydrogenation of the tetraalcohol 8a yields a calix[4]arene monosubstituted by phenyl groups at all four methylene bridges.
