Abstract Cyclodextrins are frequently used as building blocks, because they can be linked both covalently and noncovalently with specificity. Thus one, two, three, seven, fourteen, eighteen, or twenty substituents have been to one β‐cyclodextrin molecule in a regioselective manner. Furthermore, may serve organic host molecules. Their internal cavity is able accommodate two guest Conversely, suitable molecules thread many (one hundred more) cyclodextrin rings. The resulting supramolecular...

Abstract Cyclodextrine werden gerne als Bausteine eingesetzt, da sie sich gezielt sowohl kovalent, auch nichtkovalent verknüpfen lassen. So wurden an ein β‐Cyclodextrinmolekül regioselektiv ein, zwei, drei, sieben, vierzehn, achtzehn oder zwanzig Substituenten kovalent gebunden. sind zudem organische Wirtmoleküle. In ihrem Innenraum finden zwei Gastmoleküle Platz. Umgekehrt können viele (hundert und mehr) Cyclodextrinmoleküle auf passendes Gastmolekül aufgefädelt werden. Solche...

Abstract Heptakis (3‐ O ‐acetyl‐2,6‐di‐ ‐pentyl)‐ß‐cyclodextrin is used as a chiral stationary phase in capillary gas chromatography. High enantioselectivity towards trifluoro‐acetylated α and β‐chiral amines, amino alcohols, α‐ β‐amino acid esters, cyclic trans‐diols observed. In contrast to polysiloxane phases, where hydrogen bonding interaction essential for enantiomer separation, cyclodextrins inclusion properties contribute enantioselectivity. This can be concluded from the separation...

Enantiomer separation by gas chromatography in a few minutes and at temperatures between 45 130°C is now possible for compounds which cannot form H‐bonds. For peralkylated or partially alkylated acylated cyclodextrins factors of 1.021 1.279 have been achieved. The enantioselectivity the stationary phase depends—at least partially—on inclusion effects.

Enantiomerentrennung durch Gaschromatographie in wenigen Minuten und bei Temperaturen zwischen 45 130°C ist nun für Verbindungen, die keine H‐Brücken bilden können, möglich. An peralkylierten oder partiell alkylierten acylierten Cyclodextrinen wurden Trennfaktoren 1.021 1.279 erreicht. Die Enantioselektivität der stationären Phase beruht – zumindest teilweise auf Inclusionseffekten.
