Lithiation
of the calix[6]Âarene methyl ether <b>2</b> followed
by reaction with O<sub>2</sub> yields derivatives with two opposite
methylene groups hydroxylated. Calix[6]Âarenes with two opposite bridges
functionalized with alkoxy, azido, and <i>m</i>-xylyl groups
were prepared via reaction of a dichlorocalix[6]Âarene derivative with
nucleophiles
