The molecular framework of calixarenes has been widely used as a versatile scaffold for the arrangement of active units working as catalytic and/or recognition sites, attaining, in many cases, high levels of cooperation. The calixarene cavity itself can also play a role in the catalytic process, acting as a recognition unit by inclusion of the substrate or of part of the substrate. This chapter focuses on the high performance of calixarene catalysts active in acyl and phosphoryl transfer processes.

Abstract
The molecular framework of calixarenes has been widely used as a versatile scaffold for the arrangement of active units working as catalytic and/or recognition sites, attaining, in many cases, high levels of cooperation. The calixarene cavity itself can also play a role in the catalytic process, acting as a recognition unit by inclusion of the substrate or of part of the substrate. This chapter focuses on the high performance of calixarene catalysts active in acyl and phosphoryl transfer processes.File in questo prodotto:
