Abstract
Density Functional Theory as well as highly correlated ab initio molecular orbital theory was used to explore the possibility of activating C-F bonds in fluoroalkanes by organic macrocyles. The results indicate that the reaction between fluoro-calix[4]pyrrole-tert-amine and CH3F via a Menshutkin displacement mechanism is highly favorable and competitive from a thermochemical point of view with the very efficient C-Cl activation by a simple macrocyclic amine recently reported in the literature (Stanger, L.J.; Noll, B.C.; Gonzalez, C.; Marquez, M.; Smith, B.D. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 4184).Citation
