Abstract:
A method has been developed to determine the distribution of substituents in the glucose units of sulfonylbutylethers of cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-cyclodextrin). This method involves hydrolysis of the glucosidic linkages, permethylation, formation of sulfonylchlorides and subsequent transformation to the permethylated sulfonylfluoride derivatives. The latter were thermostable and could be analyzed by GLC and identified by EI and CIMS. For confirmation, the 2-, 3-, and 6-O-substituted standard compounds were independently synthesized and characterized by NMR and GLC-MS.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...

Preparation of Alcohols via Substitution Reactions
Alcohols can be synthesized from alkyl halides via nucleophilic substitution reactions. The highly polar carbon-halogen bond in the substrate makes halide a good leaving group. The hydroxide ion or water can act as a nucleophile to take the place of halide and form an alcohol. The substitution reactions occur via two different reaction pathways, SN1 or SN2, depending on the nature of carbon attached to the halide.
Primary alcohols are synthesized from primary alkyl halides, and the...
