Abstract: Selective transmembrane carriers for a-hydroxy acids, acyclic a-amino phosphonates and calix[4]arenes containing a-aminophosphonate substituents at the lower rim have been synthesized; analytical HPLC has been used to monitor the selective separation of dicarboxylic, a-hydroxy and a-amino acid mixtures by membrane extraction; the attachment of a-aminophosphonate fragments to the macrocyclic calix[4]arene platform results in receptors with markedly modified efficiency and selectivity relative to those of only aminophosphonates.

Keywords: phosphonates, calix[4]arene, membrane extraction, carboxylic acids, amino acids, hydroxy acids, synthetic receptors.
