Tetrakis(bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene)-fused calix[4]pyrrole, 5, was obtained starting from (E)-1,2-bis(phenylsulfonyl)ethylene. This new calixpyrrole derivative is the prospective precursor of tetrabenzocalix[4]pyrrole, a potential ion-pair receptor and an attractive species as a possible deep-walled molecular container'.
