Effects of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) 1 and its derivatives 2-7 on the dea
cylation reaction of p-nitrophenyl (R or S)-alpha-methoxyphenylacetate were
studied. The beta-CD derivatives used were 6-alpha-D-glucosyl-beta-CD 2, s
ulfated beta-CD (7-11 sulfate groups/CD ring) 3, dimethylated beta-CD 4, ca
rboxymethylated beta-CD (3.5 carboxymethyl groups/CD ring) 5, 2-tri(2-hydro
xypropyl)-beta-CD 6, and beta-CD appended on poly(allylamine) 7. The rate c
onstant (k(psi)(CD)) of the substrate/beta-CD complexes and the formation c
onstants (K) of the complexes were determined from the dependence of the ps
eudo-first order rate constants of the deacylation reaction on the concentr
ation of beta-CDs. The order of k(psi)(CD) for the R-enantiomer at pH 8.0 i
s 4 << 5 < H2O < 3 congruent to 6 < 1 congruent to 2 < 7, while that for th
e S-enantiomer is 4 < 5 congruent to 6 < H2O congruent to 1 congruent to 2
3 < 7: H2O denotes the rate in the absence of beta-CDs. The order of K valu
es is 3 < 7 < 6 congruent to 2 congruent to 1 < 4 < 5. This work indicates
that, though the secondary hydroxyl groups of beta-CD play critical roles i
n the deacylation reactions of the esters complexed with beta-CDs, the reac
tivity of the ester/beta-CD complexes depends highly on the nature of the s
ubstituents at the secondary face of beta-CD. It also suggests that the sub
strates inserted from the secondary side as well as the primary side of bet
a-CD of poly(allylamine)-bound beta-CD undergo the reaction by attack of am
ino groups on the polymer chain.
