Ferrocenium salts mediate para-tert-butylcalixarene synthesis.
Ferrocenium salts mediate high yielding one-pot and convergent syntheses of para-tert-butylcalixarenes in mild non-Lewis or Brønsted acidic reaction conditions; EPR indicates complex formation between the s-trioxane and the ferrocenium salt.
