title: Design of a novel inherently chiral calix[4]arene for chiral molecular recognition.
abstract: A newly designed inherently chiral calix[4]arene was synthesized and resolved to an optically pure form. Enantiomeric recognition ability of the chiral calix[4]arene was examined using 1H NMR experiments with mandelic acid. In addition, the chiral calix[4]arene was applied to asymmetric reactions, as an organocatalyst.
