Transition Metal Catalyzed Organic Reaction Involving Cyclodextrin

Abstract

Cyclodextrin is a kind of cyclic oligosaccharide which is composed of the D-pyran glucose units connected with the α-1,4-glycosidic bond. Cyclodextrin has the rigidly tapered cavity of hydrophobic inner and hydrophilic outer. Cyclodextrin has been attracted more and more attention from scientists since it was discovered, owning to its special space cavity of hydrophilic inner and hydrophilic outer. As an important industrial catalyst, transition metal catalyst can combine with the cyclodextrin system to simultaneously exert the catalytic properties of the metal and the molecular recognition and phase transfer of cyclodextrin, which greatly improves its catalytic performance. In this paper, the transition metal catalyzed organic reactions involving cyclodextrin are reviewed, and these reactions are described in terms of the metal valence from 0 to 4. Finally, the development and foreground of these co-catalyst systems involving metal and cyclodextrin are prospected. It is expected that the catalytic system will have a wider application in the future, and a more efficient and selective catalytic system will be continuously developed.

130 years of cyclodextrin discovery for health, food, agriculture, and the industry: a review

“…Other applications have been reported in sectors such as supramolecular catalysis (Hapiot et al 2014;Chen et al 2019;Fernandez et al 2019), asymmetric and stereospecific synthesis (Macaev and Boldescu 2015), click chemistry (Celebioglu et al 2016;Hou et al 2016), metal-organic frameworks (Rajkumar et al 2019), agrochemistry (Campos et al 2015;Yusoff et al 2016), supercritical fluid chromatography (Xiao et al 2012;West 2014), imprinting techniques (Lay et al 2016), nanofibers (Topuz and Uyar 2019), and environment (Taka et al 2017;Crini et al 2018).…”
