Inherently chiral calix[4]arenes via oxazoline directed ortholithiation: synthesis and probe of chiral space

The diastereoselective oxazoline-directed lithiation of calix[4]arenes is reported with diastereoselective ratios of greater than 100:1 in some instances. Notably, it has been found that the opposite diastereomer can be accessed via this approach merely through the choice of an alkyllithium reagent....
