Abstract

The cyclodextrins have attracted much attention as enzyme active-site models. These torus-shaped molecules, possessing a central lipophilic cavity for guest inclusion, are made up of α-1,4-linked D-glucopyranose units, α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrin (α-, β-, and γ-CD) comprising 6, 7, and 8 units, respectively. We now report the first example of the catalysis of a degenerate exchange process for a molecule accommodated in a cyclodextrin void. Internal rotation in N,N-dimethyl-p-nitrobenzamide (I) complexed by β-CD in D2O was selected for detailed study.
