The effects of a novel water-soluble cyclophane (TGCP 44, 1) on the hydrolysis reactions of aromatic esters have been studied. TGCP 44(1) was found to inhibit the hydrolysis of three aromatic esters, p-nitrophenyl chloroacetate (2), glycine p-nitrophenyl ester hydrobromide (3) and 1-nitro-2-naphthyl chloroacetate (4). The hydrolysis rates of the aromatic esters were retarded by 3.8-7.65 fold relative to the spontaneous rates.
