Abstract
A novel water-soluble photochemical microreactor has been prepared. A perbutylated cyclodextrin bearing seven naphthalenesulfonate antenna c hromophores (Bu-CD-N-7) displays improved solubilization of hydrophobi c guests in comparison with the unbutylated material (CD-N-7). The pho tophysical properties of Bu-CD-N-7 are similar to those of the CD-N-7. The naphthyl chromophores of Bu-CD-N-7 were used to sensitize the pho tolysis of 9-anthrylmethyl pivalate (AP). Inclusion of AP in the cyclo dextrin leads to the selective formation of one of the two possible co upling products.
