Desymmetric esterification catalysed by bifunctional chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes provides access to inherently chiral calix[4]arenes

Abstract Calix[4]arenes display inherent chirality, with broad applications in synthetic and medicinal chemistry and in materials sciences. However, their use is hindered by their limited synthetic accessibility, primarily due to the lack of enantioselective methods for preparing chiral calix[4]aren...
