Objective:
To study the preparation of alpha-Hydrocycholic-beta-Cyclodextrin inclusion compound.
Methods:
It was studied with orthogonal design to analysis three factors of inclusion rate such as the weight ratio between HDCA and beta-Cyclodextrin, the temperature and the reaction time. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, taste and solubility test were used to identify the inclusion compound.
Results:
Stable inclusion compound was made by HDCA and beta-Cyclodextrin. The weight ratio between HDCA and beta-Cyclodextrin was the most important factor. The alpha-Hydrocycholic-beta-Cyclodextrin inclusion compound taste and the solubility were improved.
Conclusion:
The optimum preparation condition is alpha-Hydrocycholic : beta-Cyclodextrin = 8.67 : 1, the inclusion temperature is 60 degrees C and the inclusion time is 30 minutes.

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration
Analogous to alkenes, alkynes also undergo acid-catalyzed hydration. While the addition of water to an alkene gives an alcohol, hydration of alkynes produces different products such as aldehydes and ketones.
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...
