Summary:We have investigated supramolecular reactors for the Suzuki coupling reactions of aryl halides with phenyl boronic acids by using self-assembly of amphiphilic rod−coil molecules in aqueous solution at room temperature. All the rod−coil molecules synthesized in this work showed to self-assemble into discrete micelles consisting of aromatic rod bundles encapsulated by hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) coils. We present a comparative study of rod−coil molecules' efficiency as supramolecular reactors for Suzuki coupling reaction. The closed-packed aromatic bundles play an efficient role in supramolecular reactors for the coupling reactions at room temperature. The supramolecular reactor based on hexa-p-phenylene confers unprecedented activity, allowing reactions to be performed at very low catalyst levels, without conventional heating or microwave.
