Abstract:
The electrochemical oxidation of a number of aminomethylated calix4]resorcinarenes (AMC) with different substituents at the nitrogen atom and the kinetics of nucleophilic substitution reactions of these compounds with p-nitrophenyl bis(chloromethyl)phosphinate were studied. The reactivity of the ionic associates of AMC in the nucleophilic substitution and the behavior of AMC in electrooxidation are determined by the same factors, namely, the amino-group basicity and the nature of the substituents at the nitrogen atom. These factors influence the ratio of the zwitter-ionic and anionic forms of AMC.
