Guest ester

The participation of the secondary alcoholic functions to the increase in association constant of the ketone recalls the basic catalysis of various esters in aqueous medium. Indeed, this hydrolysis is clearly assisted by j6-CD and Tee et al. present a mechanism in which an ionized hydroxy group of the cyclodextrin acts as a nucleophile towards the guest ester [56]. In several cases the kinetics studies are consistent with a hydrolysis process in which a complex formed from the ester and two molecules of cyclodextrin is involved [57]. 

Much attention has recently been focused on organoboronic acids and their esters because of their practical usefulness for synthetic organic reactions including asymmetric synthesis, combinatorial synthesis, and polymer synthesis [1, 3, 7-9], molecular recognition such as host-guest compounds [10], and neutron capture therapy in treatment of malignant melanoma and brain tumor ]11]. New synthetic procedures reviewed in this article wiU serve to find further appHcations of organoboron compounds.

Both the acid and ester were applied in continuous allylic amination. The maximum conversion (ca. 80%) was reached after 1 h in both experiments. Using the acid derivative of the guest, a slight drop in activity was observed ((a) in Figure 4.19), which is probably caused by a slow deactivation of the catalyst and has also been observed for covalently functionalized dendrimers (described above). When using the ester-functionalized guest, the activity dropped faster ((b) in Figure 4.19). This decrease in activity is caused by lack of retention (99.4% for the acid vs. 97% for the ester) as well as by deactivation.

Macrocycles containing isoxazoline or isoxazole ring systems, potential receptors in host—guest chemistry, have been prepared by multiple (double, triple or quadruple) 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of nitrile oxides, (prepared in situ from hydroxamoyl chlorides) to bifunctional calixarenes, ethylene glycols, or silanes containing unsaturated ester or alkene moieties (453). This one-pot synthetic method has been readily extended to the preparation of different types of macrocycles such as cyclophanes, bis-calix[4]arenes and sila-macrocycles. The ring size of macrocycles can be controlled by appropriate choices of the nitrile oxide precursors and the bifunctional dipolarophiles. Multiple cycloadditive macrocy-clization is a potentially useful method for the synthesis of macrocycles.

Goddard and Tomalia [1] investigated the encapsulation of 2,4-dich-lorophenoxyacetic acid and acetylsalicylic acid into methyl ester-terminated PAM AM dendrimers by measuring the 13C spin-lattice relaxation times (7 ) of the guest molecules. In the presence of dendrimer, the 7 values of these guest... 

The maximum observed free energy difference between two enantiomeric host-guest complexes in which one 1,1 -dinaphthyl element is the only source of chirality in the crown ether is about 0.3 kcal mol-1. Improvement of the free energy difference can be achieved by introduction of two such elements. Unfortunately crown ethers with three 1,1 -dinaphthyl groups did not form complexes with primary ammonium salts (de Jong et al., 1975). The dilocular chiral crown ether [294] forms complexes of different stability with R- and 5-cr-phenylethylammonium hexafluorophosphate. The (J )-J J -[284] complex was the more stable by 0.3 kcal mol-1 at 0°C (EDC value 1.77) (Kyba et al., 1973b). Crown ether [284] also discriminates between the two enantiomers of phenylglycine methyl ester hexafluorophosphate and valine methyl ester...
