Abstract

This work focuses on the synthesis of a new series of amphiphilic derivatives of calix[4]arenes for the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The aggregation properties of synthesized calix[4]arenes were studied using various techniques (fluorescence spectroscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and dynamic light scattering). Increasing the length of the alkyl substituent led to stronger hydrophobic interactions, which increased polydispersity in solution. The zwitterionic nature of the synthesized calix[4]arenes was established using different types of dyes (Eosin Y for anionic structures and Rhodamine 6G for cationic structures). The synthesized calix[4]arenes were used as organic stabilizers for CuI. The catalytic efficiency of CuI-calix[4]arene was compared with that of the phase transfer catalyst tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) and the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). For all calixarenes, the selectivity in the CuAAC reaction was higher than that observed when TBAB and SDS were estimated.
