K. Pitchumani et al., INFLUENCE OF CYCLODEXTRIN COMPLEXATION ON PHOTO-FRIES REARRANGEMENT OF SULFONYL DERIVATIVES, Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences. Chemical sciences, 106(1), 1994, pp. 49-57
Cydodextrin (CD) complexation shows remarkable selectivity in the phot
o-Fries rearrangement of sulphonate esters and sulphonanilide. An impr
essive regioselectivity is observed with meta-substituted sulphonate e
sters. The results are explained on the basis of selective modes of co
mplexation of the substrates within the CD cavity. The observed result
s are compared with those of the photo-Fries rearrangement of esters a
nd anilides.
