A Tricyclic Polyamide Receptor for Carbohydrates in Organic Media |
|
| Authors: | Anthony P. Davis Richard S. Wareham |
| Abstract: | The dissolution of glucose in chloroform is promoted by the receptor 1. Two biphenyl units and eight amide linkages line the cavity of 1 , which was designed for complementarity to β-glucopyranosyl. Receptor 1 binds octyl glycosides with unusual affinities and stereoselectivities, even with methanol present as cosolvent. |
