    Abstract:
    Bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-4,4′-5,5′-tetraphenyl-1,2′-biimidazole (2) was prepared from benzil, p-methoxybenzaldehyde and ammonium acetate. Experiments were done under different reaction conditions, and the optimal conditions were determined. In acetic acid, as mole ratio of benzil, p-methoxybenzaldehyde and ammonium acetate was 1∶1∶8, 93.6% of 2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazole (1) was obtained after refluxing for 3 h. When reaction temperature was 0~15 °C, 1 was dissolved in HOCH_2CH_2OCH_2CH_3 and mole ratio of 1 to K_3[Fe(CN)_6] was 1∶2, the yield of 2 was 87.5% after reacting for 5 h.

    o-Nitrophenylacetic acid was synthesized by condensation of o-nitrotoluene with diethyl oxalate catalyzed by C_2H_5ONa,followed by hydrolysis,oxidation with H_2O_2 and acidification with HCl,resulting in an approximate 62% yield.Indazole was synthesized in 71% yield by keeping the diazonation solution for 24 h at room temperature,which was prepared from reducing o-nitrophenylacetic acid with 8%(NH_4)_2S solution upon refluxing for(2 h) and diazotizing with HCl and NaNO_2.The overall yield was around 44%.

    C-Methyl 4,10,16,22-tetramethoxycalix[4]arene has been synthesized from phenol. The reaction performed consisted of methylation of phenol, acetylation of methyl phenyl ether, reduction of p-methoxyacetophenone, and cyclization of p-methoxy-(1-hydroxyethyl)benzene to form C-methyl-4,10,16,22-tetramethoxycalix[4]-arene using BF3-methanol as the acid catalyst. Methylation of phenol was done by reacting phenol with solution of NaOH to generate sodium phenoxide salt. This mixture was strirred at reflux for 0.5 hours. Dimethyl sulphate was added and the reflux was continued for 2,5 hours. The product obtained was methyl phenyl ether, which was found as a colorless liquid in 99.0% yield. Acetylation of methyl phenyl ether was carried out in chloroform using acetic anhydride as the acetylating agent and anhydrous aluminium chloride as the catalyst. The addition of acetic anhydride and anhydrous aluminium chloride was done in two portions. The first portion was 0.967 g of acetic anhydride and 1.4 g of anhydrous aluminium chloride. The second portion was 0.54 g of acetic anhydride and 0.6 g of anhydrous aluminium chloride. The product obtained was found as a reddish yellow liquid in 69.6% yield. Reduction of p-methoxyacetophenone as the acetylation product was done using NaBH4 in ethanol at reflux for 2.5 hours. From this reaction, p-methoxy-(1-hydroxyethyl)benzene was obtained as a brown viscous liquid in 44.9% yield. Cyclization of p-methoxy(1-hydroxyethyl)benzene was done using BF3-methanol as the acid catalyst for two days at room temperature. The product obtained from this cyclization was found as a brown very viscous liquid in 87.3% yield. Identification of reaction products were carried out using Infra Red (IR) Spectrophotometer, Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) spectrometer and Gas Chromatography-Mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Keywords: synthesis, calix[4]arene, cyclization, and catalyst.
