Nitrogen-Containing Macrocycles Having a Carbohydrate Scaffold

Synthesis of Cyclotriveratrylene-Sucrose-Based Capsules

“…Carbohydrates, being one of the most information-rich biological molecules due to the presence of numerous stereogenic centers, can be successfully used as chiral building blocks in the construction of supramolecular receptors . Sucrose is the cheapest chiral, optically pure available material .…”

Synthesis of a sucrose-based macrocycle with unsymmetrical monosaccharides "arms"

“…Binaphthols [ 7 – 9 ], amino acids [ 10 ], chiral diamines [ 11 – 12 ], carbohydrates [ 13 ], etc. are usually applied as building blocks for construction of such type of compounds.…”

An efficient synthesis of a C12-higher sugar aminoalditol

“…Carbohydrates, because of their availability in a variety of optical pure forms, are particularly useful in planning and executing the synthesis of chiral macrocyclic compounds [ 1 – 5 ]. In this context, polyhydroxylated derivatives with long chains are very interesting.…”
