The synthesis of polymers containing beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) resid
ues on the side chain is described. Several cyclodextrin-poly(vinylami
ne) with various degrees of substitution were synthesized, using the m
ono-tosyl derivative of beta-cyclodextrin as reagent. Several factors
(reaction time, amounts of the reactants, composition of the solvent)
have been studied. A characterization was carried out using D-2 H-1 -
H-1 correlation spectroscopy (COSY-TOCSY) and D-2 H-1 - C-13 heteronuc
lear correlation (HMQC). (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
