Abstract
Interactions between the meta-substituted monosulfonated triphenylphosphine and chemically modified β-cyclodextrins were investigated in aqueous solution by NMR and UV–vis spectroscopy. Titration and continuous variation plots obtained from 31P NMR data indicate that the monosulfonated triphenylphosphine forms 1:1 inclusion complexes with the 2-hydroxypropylated β-cyclodextrin, the methylated β-cyclodextrin and the (2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammoniopropyl)-β-cyclodextrin chloride. These inclusion complexes are more stable that those formed with native β-cyclodextrin, confirming that poisoning of the chemically modified β-cyclodextrins by the hydrosoluble phosphine occurs when modified cyclodextrins are used as mass transfer promoters in aqueous-phase organometallic catalysis.
