title: Facile preparation of mono-2-O-modified eicosa-O-methylcyclomaltoheptaoses (-beta-cyclodextrins).
abstract: Mono-2-O-benzylated eicosa-O-methylcyclomaltoheptaose (-beta-cyclodextrin) was prepared in one pot from cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-cyclodextrin) in 33% isolated yield and quantitatively converted to mono-2-OH-free eicosa-O-methylcyclomaltoheptaose, which is the key compound for further modification. Transformation of this 2-OH group successfully gave several mono-2-O-modified eicosa-O-methylcyclomaltoheptaoses such as the acetate, the N,N-dimethylcarbamate, the N-n-butylcarbamate, the methanesulfonate, and the S-methyldithiocarbonate.
