Wh. Chen et al., The dependence of catalytic activities of secondary functional beta-cyclodextrins on cavity structures, CHEM PHARM, 47(4), 1999, pp. 588-589
Secondary imidazole-appended beta-cyclodextrin 5 with a nondistorted cavity
synthesized from a novel intermediate 3-amino-3-deoxy-beta-cyclodextrin ex
hibits much greater catalytic activity in the ester hydrolysis than its iso
mer 6 with a distorted cavity, indicating that the catalytic activities of
secondary functional cyclodextrins are dependent on cavity structures.
