Aminocyclodextrins to facilitate the deprotonation of 4- tert -butyl-α-nitrotoluene

Abstract

6A-Amino-6A-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin enhances the rate of the deprotonation of 4-terf-butyl-α-nitrotoluene. The rate constants for reaction of the cyclodextrin-bound species, kinc = 4 × 10-3, 9 × 10-3 and 19 × 10 -3 s-1, at pH 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0, respectiv
