MODULATING REACTIVITY IN CYCLODEXTRINS BY RADICAL C-H FUNCTIONALIZATION

摘要

The ability of cyclodextrins (CDs) to encapsulate biomolecules in their internal cavity and its potential application as nanocarriers has stimulated an intense research to modify and improve their chemophysical properties through chemical transformations [1]. But interestingly, in the methodologies applied to generate these modifications, radical reactions are practically unknown.
