T. Nabeshima et al., SYNTHESIS OF A FLAVIN RECEPTOR FOR REGULATION OF ION RECOGNITION BY ASSEMBLING COMPONENTS NECESSARY FOR A BINDING-SITE, Heterocycles, 41(5), 1995, pp. 877-881
A flavin receptor with two 2,6-diacylaminopyridine moieties as the bin
ding sites was synthesized. Upon complexation between the host and fla
vins bearing a polyether chain, the complex exhibits higher extractabi
lity toward Kf than the host or the guest alone.
