title: Synthesis of carbamate-containing cyclodextrin analogues.
abstract: [formula: see text] The one-pot cyclooligomerization of a saccharide-derived p-nitrophenyl carbamate monomer was developed to generate a series of novel carbamate-containing cyclodextrin analogues. The "transcarbamoylation" occurs by initial base-induced activation to the isocyanate, followed by polycondensation/cyclization of the isocyanato alcohol. In the presence of NaH, only cyclized oligomers were observed, suggesting the importance of Na+ in promoting the efficiency of the cyclization process. The facile deprotection of the oligomers was achieved.
