Facile synthesis of cucurbit[n]uril derivatives via direct functionalization: expanding utilization of cucurbit[n]uril

摘要: A long-standing problem in cucurbituril chemistry is answered through the first direct functionalization of cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n]; n = 5-8)) leading to perhydroxyCB[n] which can be further modified provide tailored CB[n] derivatives with desired functional groups and good solubility. Anchoring a CB[6] derivative on surface its potential application as sensor are demonstrated. forms nanospheres possible use protein peptide drug delivery.
