摘要: Methyl carbonate ionic liquids are shown to readily mono-deprotonate p-tert-butylcalix-[4]-arenes initiating the formation of an organic mono-anionic p-tert-butylcalix-[4]-arate salt, methanol and carbon dioxide. These calix-[4]-arate salts have been successfully used in alkylation reactions with dialkyl sulfates alkyl halides form a mono-alkylated single product high yield. This method avoids common use alkali metal bases such as caesium fluoride hence providing safer more selective synthetic route.
