CE represents a very powerful separation tool in the area of chiral separations. CD-mediated chiral CE is a continuously flourishing technique within the frame of the electromigration methods. In this review, a brief overview of the synthetic procedures leading to modified CDs is provided first. Next, selected aspects related to the utilization of CDs in chiral CE are discussed specifically in the view of recently published data. Advantages of CDs and basic principles of chiral CE are remained. The topic of the determination of binding constants is touched. Particular attention is paid to the effort aiming at better understanding of the molecular level of the enantiorecognition between CDs and the analyte in the solution. Powerful approaches extensively utilized in this field are NMR, molecular modeling, and computer simulations. Then, a summary of applications of CDs in the CE enantioseparations is given, covering years 2008-2013. Finally, the general trend of modified CDs use in separation science is statistically evaluated.

Regioselective alkylation of γ-cyclodextrin with allyl or propargyl bromide, using optimized reaction conditions, followed by peracetylation of the remaining hydroxyl groups and separation of isomers resulted in the set of peracetylated 2(I)-O-, 3(I)-O- and 6(I)-O-alkylated cyclodextrins in up to 19% yields. Ozonolysis or oxidative cleavage of peracetylated allyl derivatives resulted in a complete set of peracetylated 2(I)-O-, 3(I)-O-, and 6(I)-O-formylmethyl or -carboxymethyl derivatives. All of these derivatives are useful precursors for further preparation of regioselectively monosubstituted derivatives of γ-cyclodextrin.

Ruthenium-carbene complex catalyzed cross metathesis of monoallyl α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins with perfluoroalkylpropenes resulted in the formation of the corresponding perfluoroalkylated cyclodextrins. The reactions proceeded under standard reaction conditions and yielded the desired
