Abstract

The interaction of optically labeled saccharides with resorcin[4]arenes as synthetic saccharide receptors has been investigated by determination of the partition of the saccharides over an aqueous and 1-octanol phase in the absence and presence of the synthetic receptor. It is shown that the complexation of merocyanine labeled glucose, galactose and ribose with the resorcin[4]arenes can be optically detected and that the chosen receptors have a modest selectivity towards the labeled glucose.
