Cyclodextrin properties

The macrocyclic structure of cyclodextrins resembles a truncated cone with the wide side occupied by 02, 03 hydroxyls and the narrow side by 06 hydroxyls. This polarity gives the cyclodextrins properties which are essential if packing in crystal lattices is discussed.

Optical properties of cyanines can be usefiil for both chiral substituents/environments and also third-order nonlinear optical properties in polymer films. Methine-chain substituted die arbo cyanines have been prepared from a chiral dialdehyde (S)-(+)-2-j -butylmalonaldehyde [127473-57-8] (79), where the chiral properties are introduced via the chiral j -butyl group on the central methine carbon of the pentamethine (die arbo cyanine) chromophore. For a nonchiral oxadicarbocyanine, the dimeric aggregate form of the dye shows circular dichroism when trapped in y-cyclodextrin (80). Attempts to prepare polymers with carbocyanine repeat units (linked by flexible chains) gave oligomers with only two or three repeat units (81). However, these materials... 

Acidimetric, spectrophotometric and HPLC assays were developed for determination of 2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-l//-pyrido[l,2-c]pyrimidine-l,3-diones 135 (98M133). Its solubility properties were also characterized. Resolution of the enantiomers of 4-phenyl-2- 4-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazi-nyl]butyl perhydropyrido[l,2-c]pyrimidine-l,3-dione was achieved on hep-takis(2-N, V-dimethylcarbamoyl)- 6-cyclodextrines (01 JC(A)249). 

Matsui and Mochida24) have determined the thermodynamic stabilities (log 1 /Kd) for a- and P-cyclodextrin complexes with a variety of alcohols (Table 2) and analyzed the results in connection with the physicochemical properties of the guest molecules by the multivariate technique. The log 1/Kd values were plotted against log Pe, where Pe is the partition coefficient of alcohol in a diethyl ether-water system. The plots for the a- and P-cyclodextrin complexes with eight 1-alkanols gave approximately straight lines with slopes of around one. 

Cyclodextrins, toroidal molecules composed of 6, 7 and 8 D-glucose units, are now commercially available at reasonable cost. They form inclusion compounds with a variety of molecules and often differentially include sulfoxide enantiomers29,30. This property has been used to partially resolve some benzyl alkyl, phenyl alkyl and p-tolyl alkyl sulfoxides. The enantiomeric purities after one inclusion process ranged from 1.1 % for t-butyl p-tolyl sulfoxide to 14.5% for benzyl r-butyl sulfoxide. Repeating the process on methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide (10) increased its enantiomeric purity from 8.1% to 11.4% four recrystallizations raised the value to 71.5%. The use of cyclodextrins in asymmetric oxidations is discussed in Section II.C.l and in the resolution of sulfmate esters in Section II.B.l. 

Dendritic hosts can be used in aqueous solution to encapsulate water-soluble fluorescent probes. Changes in the photophysical properties of these encapsulated probes are useful to understand the properties of the microenvironment created by the dendritic interior. For example, adamantyl-terminated poly(pro-pylene amine) dendrimers from the first to the fifth generation (36 represents the third generation) can be dissolved in water at pH<7 in the presence of -cyclodextrin because of encapsulation of the hydrophobic adamantyl residue inside the /1-cyclodextrin cavity and the presence of protonated tertiary amine units inside the dendrimer [72]. Under these experimental conditions, 8-anifi-... 

As we saw in the previous sections, inclusion compounds have many structural properties which relate them to other systems based on the hierarchy of non-bound interactions, like enzymes or enzyme-substrate complexes. As a matter of fact, most of the so-called artificial enzymes are based on well-known host molecules (e.g. P-cyclodextrin) and are designed to act partly on such bases 108>109). Most of these models, however, take advantage of the inclusion (intra-host encapsulation) phenomena. Construction of proper covalently bound model molecules is a formidable task for the synthetic chemistuo>. Therefore, any kind of advance towards such a goal is welcomed. 

Cyclodextrins have ecologically advantageous properties. Not only are they produced from natural and replenishable sources, they are biodegradable, non-toxic and possess no allergenic potential [32,33]. They are commercially available in bulk quantities at an optional degree of purity and have been used for many years in pharmaceuticals.

Metalated container molecules can be viewed as a class of compounds that have one or more active metal coordination sites anchored within or next to a molecular cavity (Fig. 2). A range of host systems is capable of forming such structures. The majority of these compounds represent macrocyclic molecules and steri-cally demanding tripod ligands, as for instance calixarenes (42), cyclodextrins (43,44), and trispyrazolylborates (45-48), respectively. In the following, selected types of metalated container molecules and their properties are briefly discussed and where appropriate the foundation papers from relevant earlier work are included. Porphyrin-based hosts and coordination cages with encapsulated metal complexes have been reviewed previously (49-53) and, therefore, only the most recent examples will be described. Thereafter, our work in this field is reported.
