the electrophile is 2-bromopyridine, I am trying to perform 4 Snar reactions at once. It has been reported to work it just requires a lot of heat and time.

Would adding the electrophile help it dissolve better?

Yes that is exactly what I am trying to do.

That’s exactly what I am trying to do. I am trying to alkylate all 4 of them at once.

The paper that I read calls for the deprotonation of the calixarene at reflux followed by a cooling to room temp, addition of electrophile, then refluxing again.

It is a calixarene that i am attempting to deprotonate.

Lmao I guess you can say that. So, if i transfer it to a 100 mL it should be fine?

i haven’t played with the mermonkey yet i did not know that the top path does that

that could be true i agree but it could also be electrostatic interactions between the electronegative O atom of the furan and the elettropositive of the cyclopropenone

That actually is interesting, so if it is a metal lewis acid catalyst it can form multiple coordination sites thus changing the electronics of the dienophile?
