Cyclodextrins in polymer synthesis: Free radical polymerization of methylated β-cyclodextrin complexes of methyl methacrylate and styrene, controlled…
2000
Methylated β-cyclodextrin (me-β-CD) was used to complex the hydrophobic monomers methyl methacrylate (1) or styrene (2) yielding the water-soluble 1 : 1-host/guest complexes methyl methacrylate/me-β-CD (1 a) and styrene/me-β-CD (2 a), respectively. In addition, the hydrophobic chain-transfer agent dodecanethiol (3) was complexed by two equivalents of me-β-CD yielding the water-soluble dodecanethiol/me-β-CD (3 a). The included monomers were polymerized in water by a free-radical mechanism in the presence of 3 a as the chain-transfer agent. The chain-transfer constants were determined. In order to evaluate these results, the chain-transfer constants of 3 were also determined in the case of th…
Cyclodextrins in Polymer Synthesis: Synthesis and Influence of Methylatedβ-Cyclodextrin on the Radical Polymerization Behavior of 1,1-Disubstituted 2…
2001
The chemical and enzymatic hydrolyses of 1,1-diethoxycarbonyl-2-vinylcyclopropane (1) were investigated. The product of the pig liver esterase (PLE)-catalyzed hydrolysis of 1 is a chiral trans monoester of 2-vinylcyclopropane dicarboxylic acid. New 1,1-disubstituted 2-vinylcyclopropane monomers (2a, b) were synthesized by the esterification of this ester. Methylated β-cyclodextrin was used to complex monomers 2a, b, yielding water-soluble 1 : 1 host/guest complexes. These complexes were polymerized in aqueous media by a free-radical ring-opening mechanism.
Supramolecular Nanocycles Comprisingβ-Cyclodextrin-click-Ferrocene Units: Rings of Rings of Rings
2010
We applied 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to bind ethynylferrocene onto 6I-azido-6I-deoxycyclomaltoheptaose under microwave assisted conditions. The process was investigated by (1) H NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The ability of the synthesized compound to self-organize to cyclic supramolecular structures was investigated by dynamic light scattering measurements and cryo-transmission electron microscopy.
Synthesis and characterisation of novel chemical conjugates based on alpha, beta-polyaspartylhydrazide and beta-cyclodextrins
2006
A new family of supramolecular systems based on a synthetic polyaminoacid and cyclic oligosaccharides such as beta-cyclodextrins (beta-CDs) was synthesised. The pharmaceutical potential of these systems arises from the proper combination between the complexing properties of cyclodextrins and the particular pharmacokinetic profile that can be obtained by using macromolecular conjugates with a biocompatible backbone. Five supramolecular conjugates were synthesised by using alpha,beta-polyaspartylhydrazide (PAHy) as a polymeric component and various amounts of two P-CD derivatives. In particular, by reaction of PAHy with beta-CD monoaldehyde, samples named as A(1), A(2) and A(3), bearing, resp…
Oxidative oligomerization of cyclodextrin-complexed bifunctional phenols catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase in water
2000
The HRP-catalyzed oligomerization of hydrophobic bifunctional phenols in water was realized by the use of 2,6-di-O-methylated β-cyclodextrin. The molecular weights of the resulting oligomers were in the same region as they were reached by conventional HRP-catalyzed oligomerizations in water/dioxane-mixtures. The polymerizable moieties, maleimide and methacrylamide, were not affected during the oligomerization process, as proofed by NMR, MALDI-TOF and FT-IR measurements. It was therefore possible to get soluble functionalized oligomers, which were crosslinked via radical copolymerization with suitable components (styrene, MMA) or heating.
Effect of pH Variations on the Properties of Cyclodextrin‐Calixarene Nanosponges
2019
The pH-responsive properties of cyclodextrin-calixarene nanosponge co-polymeric materials have been investigated. In particular, ISE-H+ potentiometric titrations were carried out in order to evaluate the acid-base properties and the actual amount of ionizable sites present in the materials. Moreover, the relevant pH-dependent adsorption abilities were evaluated towards a set of selected model organic pollutant molecules by means of adsorption tests and by studying the corresponding adsorption isotherms. The latter ones could be suitably described by means of the Freundlich model. The whole of the experimental results enabled us to clarify some general aspects of the microscopic behavior of …
Cyclodextrins in Polymer Synthesis: Enantiodiscrimination in Free-Radical Polymerization of Cyclodextrin-Complexed Racemic N -Methacryloyl-D,L -pheny…
2003
The enantiodiscriminating polymerization of racemic cyclodextrin-complexed N-methacryloylphenylalanine methyl ester is investigated 1 H NMR spectra of the complexes with methylated β-cyclodextrin in D 2 O manifest splittings due to chiral recognition. The different stabilities of the diastereomeric complexes influence the kinetics of the homopolymerization, particularly at 0°C. An enrichment of the residual N-methacryloyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester of 14% was achieved after 21 h of polymerization.
Fundamentals and Applications of Cyclodextrins
2018
Cyclodextrins are natural oligosaccharides obtained from starch. They were discovered in 1891 by Villiers, and attracted major scientific and industrial interests from the late 1970s. Actually, cyclodextrins are among the most remarkable macrocyclic molecules with major theoretical and practical interest for chemistry and biology. Cyclodextrins belong to the family of cage molecules due to their structure, which is composed of a hydrophobic cavity that can encapsulate other molecules. Indeed, the most characteristic feature of cyclodextrins is their ability to form inclusion complexes with various molecules through host-guest interactions. Cyclodextrins and their derivatives have a wide var…
Cyclodextrins in Polymer Synthesis: Free Radical Polymerization of a N-Methacryloyl-11-aminoundecanoic Acid/β-Cyclodextrin Pseudorotaxane in an Aque…
1999
The relatively hydrophobic monomer N-methacryloyl-11-aminoundecanoic acid (1) was incorporated as a guest into the cavity of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a host, yielding the water-soluble monomer N-me...
Study of silica-structured materials as sorbents for organophosphorus pesticides determination in environmental water samples
2018
Abstract A novel sorbent based on a UVM-7 mesoporous silica doped with Ti has been synthesized and used for solid-phase extraction of several organophosphorus pesticides in environmental water samples followed by gas chromatography coupled to a nitrogen-phosphorus selective detector. Thus, mesoporous silica materials doped with Ti and Fe as well as immobilized cyclodextrin silica-based supports were prepared and morphologically characterized by several techniques such as transmission electronic microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption and X-ray diffraction. These sorbents were comparatively evaluated, and Ti25-UVM-7 material was selected as the best solid phase. After optimization of extr…
