Crown ether type-cyclic oligosaccharides could soon become another class of very efficient chiral selectors. The crown ether cavity could be used as well as the fructose sugar on the ring. Derivatized forms of cycloinulooligosaccharides showed excellent chiral recognition ability for primary amines and a variety of chiral compounds (Armstrong, 2009, personal communication). 

Cyclofructans are a new class of chiral selectors. Despite the fact that they are cyclic oligosaccharides and have a crown ether core, their chiral recognition capabilities and mechanisms are completely different from those of either cyclodextrins or synthetic crown ethers. Two chiral recognition mechanisms are proposed for cyclofructan CSPs. Tripodal hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl groups on...
