The racemate of an inherently chiral meta-substituted calix[4]arene derivative 3 has been resolved via enantioselective HPLC. Measured optical rotation dispersion and electronic circular dichroism have been compared with DFT theoretical predictions. The comparison indicates that the absolute configuration of the dextrorotatory enantiomer (+)-3 is cS. The procedure has been successfully tested against a literature precedent confirming the validity of the method.
