Abstract: | The first examples of calixarene ionic liquids 3 and 6 with 3D-shaped cavities were obtained in high yields by reacting calix[4]arene or thiacalix[4]arene with 1,6-dibromohexane and then refluxing in 1-methylimidazole. The experiments of phase transfer catalysis in water suggested that they possessed excellent catalytic properties of aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction and benzyl nucleophilic substitution. The optimized yields of product in catalytic reaction were as high as approximate 97% under mild reaction conditions. The cavities of calixarene skeleton played the crucial roles in catalysis and the stable cone conformation was favorable for catalysis. |
