A novel molecular tube fully modified at one end: selective inclusion of cis-unsaturated fatty acid esters

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Jan 30;56(9):1353-1356. doi: 10.1039/c9cc08709e.

Abstract

A novel cyclodextrin molecular tube with one fully modified and one unmodified end was facilely synthesized by selective desilylation of a 6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilylated β-cyclodextrin dimer possessing multiple linkers. This molecular tube showed a selective inclusion ability toward cis-unsaturated fatty acid esters by utilizing the asymmetric cylindrical nanocavity.
