Synthesis of ino Acid Derived β-Cyclodextrins Used in Chiral Separation by Capillary Electrophoresis

Six new kinds of ino acid derived β-cyclodextrins were synthesized to improve their water solubility and chiral separation properties. They are heptakis{2,6-di-O-[3-L-(1-isopropyl carboxyl methyl ino)-2-hydroxy propyl]}-β-cyclodextrin (i.e. L-Val-β-CD), heptakis{2,6-di-O-[3-L-(1-benzyl carboxyl methyl ino)-2-hydroxy propyl]}-β-cyclodextrin (i.e. L-Phe-β-CD), heptakis{2,6-di-O-[3-(D, L-1-benzyl carboxyl methyl ino)-2-hydroxy propyl]}-β-cyclodextrin (i.e. D,L-Phe-β-CD), heptakis{2,6-di-O-[3-(L-1-hydroxymethyl carboxyl methyl ino)-2-hydroxy propyl]}-β-cyclodextrin (i.e. L-Ser-β-CD), heptakis{2,6-di-O-[3-(L-1-carboxylmethyl carboxyl methyl ino)- 2-hydroxy propyl]}-β-cyclodextrin (i.e. L-Asp-β-CD), heptakis{2,6-di-O-[3-(L-2-carboxyl tetrethylene ino)-2-hydroxy propyl]}-β-cyclodextrin (i.e. L-Pro-β-CD). Their chemical structures were certified using FTIR and 1H NMR. Except for L-Phe-β-CD and D,L-Phe-β-CD, that are in soluble in water, the other ino acid derived β-CDs all have good water solubility. D,L-tyrosine and promethazine were baselinely separated by L-Val-β-CD in capillary electrophoresis.
