Inherently chiral calixarenes are known to exhibit versatile functions due to their delicate three-dimensional macrocyclic frameworks. However, the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of these compounds remains largely unexplored and poses a significant challenge. Herein, we report an unprecedented enant...
