However, if the dye is of an appropriate size to form a one host-two guests complex with beta or gamma cyclodextrin, it was found that, on addition of the cyclodextrin, dye solutions often show spectral changes...

The same mechanism was also proposed by Herkstroeter and coworkers,who carried out absorption and fluorescence measurements on the interaction of 4-pyrenyl butanoate with gamma cyclodextrin. No kinetic studies, however, have yet been performed on these systems in order to verify the proposed mechanism. 

An interesting equilibrium study was performed by Kasatani and coworkers on the interaction of a series of cyanine dyes with beta and gamma cyclodextrin, using u.v.-visible spectrophotometric measurements. The results were consistent with the enhancement of dimer formation by inclusion of the dye molecules within the cyclodextrin. As expected from the work of others, such geometrical factors " as the size of the aromatic groups and the lengths of the central methine chains strongly influence the occurrence of dimer formation within the cyclodextrin cavity. 

Some other interesting modifications of the gamma cyclodextrin structure have been made by the group of Ueno and coworkers. By the...

Fig. 11.—Schematic Diagram of the Interaction of a Guest with Gamma Cyclodextrin Bearing Two Naphthyl Groups. [Ueno and coworkers proposed two possible mechanisms of inclusion, I and 2. In 1, one of the naphthyl groups acts as a space regulator. In 2, the two naphthyl groups form a flexible, hydrophobic cap across the cavity of the cyclodextrin. In the cases of the guests that they investigated, Ueno considered that mechanism 2 is predominant.]...

Preparation of cyclodextrin derivatives substitution at a secondary hydroxyl group of the cyclodextrin annulus. Murakami and cowor-kers described a new and convenient method for the regioselective tosylation of the 2-hydroxyl groups of alpha, beta, and gamma cyclodextrin by means of a cyclic tin intermediate. The method is based on the reaction of dibutyltin oxide with 1,2-diols to form five-membered dibutyl-stannylidene derivatives. Useful yields of the 2-6>-tosyl derivatives of the cyclodextrins were obtained. 

Cyclodextrin Action Pattern. The action pattern of alpha-, beta-, or gamma-cyclodextrin was determined by BioRad Aminex Carbohydrate HPX-42A HPLC with two columns in tandem at 85 C eluting with glass distilled water as at a flow rate of 0.6 ml/minute. Detection was by refractive index. 

In the previous section we observed that intramolecular a-(1- -4.) glycosylative cyclization leading to alpha cyclodextrin was 2.J times more efficient in terms of the yield obtained than that leading to gamma cyclodextrin. We have examined how regioselective this type of cyclization is when the A,6-diol derivative 30 is used to give 31 and 32. Product 32 may be regarded as an iso-alpha cyclodextrin derivative.
