An 2-anfinopyddyl-bddged calix[6]arene on the upper rim fixed in cone conformation (3) was successfully synthesized and its highly selective recognition towards fluoride ion was proved by fluorescent and 1H NMR titration experiments.

A one-step procedure is developed to synthesize inherently chiral p-tert-butylcalix[4]azacrown 1 through etherification between p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene and compound 3, which can be amplifed to efficiently prepare more inherently cbiral calix[4]arenes in ABHH substitution pattern.
