The reaction of tetra­kis­(all­yloxy)calix[4]arene with the first-generation Grubbs catalyst, followed by catalytic hydrogenation, gave the novel bis-calixarene 15,20,46,51,64,69,74,79-octa­oxatridecacyclo[32.28.8.83,28.113,53.122,44.09,14.021,26.038,70.040,45.052,57.059,63.07,80.032,73]octa­conta-1(63),3,5,7(80),9(14),10,12,21,23,25,28(73),29,31,34,36,38(70),40,42,44,52,54,56,59,61-tetra­cosa­ene benzene monosolvate, C72H72O8·C6H6. The structure consists of two calix[4]arene units connected by four-carbon chains at each of the four O atoms on their narrow rims, to form a cage. Each of the calix[4]arene units has a flattened cone conformation in which two of the opposite aryl groups are closer together and nearly parallel [dihedral angle between planes = 7.35 (16)°], and the other two aryl groups are splayed outward [dihedral angle between planes = 72.20 (8)°]. While the cavity contains no solvent or other guest mol­ecule, there is benzene solvent mol­ecule in the lattice. Two of the alkyl linking arms were disordered over two conformations with occupancies of 0.582 (3)/0.418 (3) and 0.33 (4)/0.467 (4). They were constrained to have similar metrical and thermal parameters.

The title compound, C22H30BrNO, is an alk­oxy­amine compound, an effective initiator in nitroxide-mediated free radical polymerization. It was prepared as a mixture of two diasteromers; the crystal for the X-ray analysis showed one of these as a pair of R,S and S,R enanti­omers. The tert-butyl and isopropyl groups are in an almost anti conformation in the crystal [C—N—C—C torsion angle = −168.8 (1)°], and the methyl group of the ethoxy group is in an approximate anti relationship to the tert-butyl group. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 33.12 (7)°. The Br atom is disordered over two positions, with occupancies of 0.9139 (16) and 0.0861 (16). In the crystal, weak C—H...Br contacts link the mol­ecules into chains along [-110].
