PB06 Synthesis of Liquid Crystalline Cyclodextrin Derivatives

Abstract

The Primary hydroxyl groups of cyclodextrins were only benzoylated to give liquid crystalline cyclodextrins. It was expected that they dimerize and form molecular capsules, because of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding by their secondary hydroxyl groups. Futhermore, we attempted benzoylation of all hydroxyl groups of cyclodextrins, the benzoylation was tried with α, β, γ-cyclodextrin, and alkoxyl groups were introduced as the substituents of the benzoyl groups.
