Catalytic Properties

Water-soluble calixarenes can exhibit catalytic activity in various reactions due to their ability to host guest molecules. The hydrophobic cavities of these molecules can serve as reaction vessels, promoting specific chemical transformations. Catalysis by water-soluble calixarenes often involves the stabilization of reactive intermediates within their cavities or the formation of host-guest complexes that can enhance the reaction rate or selectivity. They can be used as phase-transfer catalysts, where they facilitate the transfer of reactants between immiscible phases, such as organic and aqueous solvents. Water-soluble calixarenes have found applications in various organic transformations, such as esterifications, hydrolysis, and other reactions involving charged or polar substrates.
