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.

Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
