Abstract

New highly soluble β-aminoalcohol β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) derivatives have been synthesized via nucleophilic epoxide opening reactions with mono-6-amino mono-6-deoxy-permethyl-β-CD and mono-6-amino mono-6-deoxy-β-CD. The binding properties of the β-CD were enhanced by linking aminoalcohol subunits which caused its solubility to improve markedly. The reaction conditions were optimised using microwave irradiation giving moderate-to-good yields with a series of epoxides. A regioselective epoxide opening reaction was observed in the reaction with styrene oxide while the stereoselectivity was strictly dependent on substrate structure.
