strate 15 with the compounds under study, namely, CMC,
Kb, and km. As follows from the comparison of the CMC
values obtained by tensiometry, conductometry, and the
kinetic method (see Tables 1 and 2), they are lower in the
latter case. This is likely due to the effect of the substrate
additives on the micellar system. The reactivities of funcꢀ
tional aggregates formed by calix[4]resorcinolarenes,
AMP, and QAMP, which hydrolize 15 via different
mechanisms, differ dramatically (see Fig. 1 and Table 2).
The CMC of the aggregates of calix[4]resorcinolarenes is
one order of magnitude lower and Kb is one order of
magnitude higher than those for AMP.

Hence, the aggregates of macrocyclic amphiphiles,
calix[4]resorcinolarenes containing hydroxy and amino
groups, are formed much more easily and bind substrates
more strongly than the aggregates of oꢀaminomethylꢀ
phenols; they exhibit much higher hydrolytic activity at
low concentrations.

The 31P NMR study of the reaction of 15 with nonꢀ
micelleꢀforming AMP 6 and micelleꢀforming AMP 4,
QAMP 9, and AMC 13 in the 30% aqueous DMF showed
that the EPA hydrolysis in the micellar systems based on
AMP, QAMP, and AMC occurs likely through different
mechanisms. Irrespectively of the aggregation state, AMPs
interact with substrate 15 (δ 17.3 ppm) via the above
mechanism to form phosphorylated AMP (δ 16.6), folꢀ
lowed by its hydrolysis to the acid (δ 13.3). The examinaꢀ
tion of the 31P NMR spectra of the reaction mixtures of
15 with QAMP (Fig. 6) recorded at different reaction
times showed that the interaction occurs simultaneously
through two pathways, i.e., the transesterification and hyꢀ
drolysis of the substrate occur in parallel. The hydrolysis
of compound 15 in the presence of AMC 12 is not acꢀ
companied by the formation of an intermediate. The difꢀ
ference in the reaction mechanisms of compound 15 with
AMP and AMC is likely due to the fact that the phosphoꢀ
rylation of the macrocyclic phenols AMCs proceeds more
slowly than that of simple phenols.24 The substrate bound
by the AMC aggregate is hydrolyzed faster than it underꢀ
goes transesterification.
The spectrophotometric study of the reaction kinetics
for substrate 15 with calix[4]resorcinolarene 11, AMC 12,
AMPs 2 and 4, and QAMPs 9 and 10 confirmed the
formation of aggregates of these compounds, namely, the
kinetic curves have a "saturation" shape that is typical of
micelleꢀcatalyzed reactions15 (see Fig. 1). A similar plot
of kapp against the concentration of the nonꢀmicelleꢀformꢀ
ing AMP 3 is linear, and the bimolecular rate constant for
this reaction is 0.2 L mol–1 s–1. Table 2 presents the
parameters of the micelleꢀcatalyzed reaction of subꢀ
