“…Optimizing the monotosylation of CDs has been the subjecto fm any studies. [14,[31][32][33]], However,s electivity remains ac hallengea nd difficult chromatographic separations, and crystallizations, are required to remove side products.T his monoderivatization methodology enables the introduction of av ariety of substituents, such as am onoazide, amine, hydroxylamine, or thiol, which can then be further modified. [15,34,35] Amine-functionalized b-CD is ap articularly desirable scaffold, whichh as been conjugated to av ariety of biologicallyr elevant molecules includingg lycodendrimers, [36,37] peptides, [38] proteins, [39] and drugs [2] .…”
