Abstract

An oxidative coupling Sonogashira-type reaction has been used to synthesize a β-cyclodextrin derivative bearing an azobenzene group on the secondary face for the first time starting from a β-cyclodextrin propargylated at one of its C-2 positions. The de- O-propargylation reaction and the formation of an oxidative homocoupling dimer were found to compete with the desired product under several Sonogashira-type reaction conditions. However, the use of a diluted reductive atmosphere of H 2 avoided the former and diminished the latter.
