Abstract:
The inclusion interaction of qucertin with beta-cyclodextrin and its derivatives was studied by fluorimetry. The formation constants of their inclusion complexes were determined, and the stoichiometry ratio on the formation of the inclusion complexes was determined by equimolar continueous variation method. The effect of aliphatic alcohols with short chains on inclusion process was discussed. The results showed that the inclusion ability of beta-CD and its derivatives was in the order: HP-beta-CD>M-beta-CD>beta-CD. The effect of aliphatic alcohol on complexes was related to the carbon number and volume of alcohol molecules.

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...
Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
