Abstract

Abstract Imidazole-appended β-cyclodextrins, 3-deoxy-3-imidazolyl-β-cyclodextrin (3Im-βCyD) and 6-deoxy-6-imidazolyl-β-cyclodextrin (6Im-βCyD) were synthesized as substrate selective enzyme mimics. 6Im-βCyD shows marked enantioselectivity in the hydrolysis of Boc-alanine p-nitrophenyl ester rather than 3Im-βCyD. This selectivity could be interpreted by transition stability theory.
