A Simple and Convenient Per-O-acylation of Cyclodextrins Catalyzed by Molecular Iodine

Abstract

Per-O-acylated cyclodextrins with different alkyl chains were prepared in good to high yields by iodine-catalyzed acylation of all hydroxy groups of cyclodextrins with carboxylic anhydrides under solvent-free conditions.

Key words

cyclodextrins - iodine catalyst - acylation - solvent-free
