Comparative studies on molecular induced aggregation of hepta-imidazoliumyl-β-cyclodextrin towards anionic surfactants

A β-cyclodextrin derivative bearing seven cationic arms and its singly charged analogue, i.e., per-6-deoxy-6-(1-methylimidazol-3-ium-3-yl)-β-cyclodextrin(3) and mono-6-deoxy-6-(1-methylimidazol-3-ium-3-yl)-β-cyclodextrin(4) were synthesized and fully characterized. Their induced aggregation behaviours towards two anionic surfactant, that is, sodium dodecyl sulfonate(SDS) and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate(Aerosol OT, AOT), were investigated by UV–vis, NMR, Zeta-potential, dynamic light scattering(DLS), and transmission electron microscopy. The results revealed that host 3 can induce the molecular aggregation of anionic surfactant at concentration far lower than its original CAC, leading to the larger diameter, the narrower size distribution and the higher thermal stability of the induced aggregate towards the anionic surfactant possessing more hydrophobic tails.     

Selective binding of bile salts by β-cyclodextrin derivatives with appended quinolyl arms

Two β-cyclodextrin derivatives bearing appended quinolyl and isoquinolyl arms,i.e.mono-(6-quinolyl- 6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin(1) and mono-(6-isoquinolyl-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin(2) were synthesized in satisfactory yields and fully characterized.Their original conformations and binding behaviors toward four bile salt guests,that is,sodium cholate(CA),sodium deoxycholate(DCA),sodium glycocholate (GCA),and sodium taurocholate(TCA),were investigated by means of fluorescence,circular dichroism and 2D NMR spectroscopy.The study of solution structures revealed that both quinolyl and isoquinolyl arms were located outside the cyclodextrin cavity.The results obtained from the fluorescence titrations showed that the binding abilities of hosts 1 and 2 with selected bile salts varied in an order of DCA > CA > GCA.The selective binding of hosts toward bile salt guests was discussed from the viewpoints of induced-fit and multiple binding.     

2-萘-(OCH2CH2)n-金刚胺与6-单取代环糊精衍生物的光诱导电子转移反应

A number of naphthalene donor compounds that possess an adamantanamine binding moiety and an (OCH2CH2)n (nn1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8) spacer were synthesized. The fluorescence quenching between these donor substrates and mono-6-O-p-nitrobenzoyl-β-cyclodextrin (pNBCD) and mono-6-O-m-nitrobenzoyl-β-cyclodextrin(mNBCD) was studied in detail. It was found that very efficient fluorescence quenching could occur in these supramolecular systems. This quenching was attributed to the photoinduced electron transfer inside the supramolecular assembly between the naphthalene donors and cyclodextrin acceptors. Detailed Stern-Volmer constants were measured and they were partitioned into dynamic Stern-Volmer quenching constants and static binding constants. It was demonstrated that the binding constants between all the naphthalene compounds and cyclodextrins are the same as they possess the same binding site, i.e., adamantanamine.

Diisobutylaluminium hydride(DIBAL-H) promotes secondary rim regioselective bis-de-O-methylation of permethylatedβ-cyclodextrin (β-CD) to give diol 2.To gain an insight into the mechanism of this remarkable regioselective behavior,two corresponding permethylatedβ-CDs with an alcohol function at either 2- or 3-position were synthesized in our previous study.As a step further to this work,the two compounds were subjected to deoxygenation reaction with tributyltin hydride in the present of 2,2’- azobisisobutyronitrile affording the corresponding 2- and 3-deoxy permethylatedβ-CD derivatives(19 and 16).The structures of these two compounds were characterized by ID and 2D NMR and HRMS.Compounds 16 and 19 were unable to react with DIBALH which suggests that O-2~A and O-3~B are necessary for DIBAL-H promoted bis-de-O-methylation reaction of permethylatedβ-CD.
