Design, synthesis, and characterization of a series of novel β-cyclodextrin functional monomers

In order to increase its solubility in water and improve β-cyclodextrin combination with guest molecules, chemical modification of β-cyclodextrin is a feasible and effective method. A variety of β-cyclodextrin derivatives are designed and introduced for pharmaceutical complexation and analytical chemistry application. In this study, a series of β-cyclodextrin derivatives containing unsaturated bonds is designed and synthesized. The products are characterized by MS, FTIR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR. Some of the functional monomers may be used in the preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers, and preliminary studies have shown excellent molecular recognition ability. The prepared β-cyclodextrin functional monomers have potential application value in molecular recognition materials based on polymers.
