Abstract
Methylzinc calixarene complex (1) reacts with one equivalent of B(C 6F5)3 to give the ion-pair (calixarene)-Zn δ+ - Me - B(C6F5)3 δ- complex (2), which readily undergoes the pentafluorophenyl group transfer to the zinc center. Reaction between 1 and H2O - B(C6F5)3 results in the formation of the ion-pair (calixarene)Znδ+-HO-B(C6F5) 3δ- complex (4). In contrast to 2, complex 4 requires harsher reaction conditions to undergo the C6F5 group transfer, with the reaction taking place under the autocatalytic conditions.
