2A–F,3B,C,E,F,6B,C,E,F-Tetradeca-O-benzyl-α-cyclodextrin or Ling's tetrol is a unique α-cyclodextrin derivative that is partially protected with specific access points on both rims of the cyclodextrin structure. Ling's tetrol is therefore potentially useful for the synthesis of more complex and sophisticated enzyme models and supramolecular structures. However, the original synthesis gave only 10% yield after a reaction time of 4 days, and a recent improvement that gave 52% yield required two steps and a reaction time in one step of 6 days. Here, a single-step synthesis is reported where Ling's tetrol is obtained in a yield of 59% with a reaction time of 40 hours. 2A–F,3B,C,E,F,6B,C,E,F-Tetradeca-O-benzyl-α-cyclodextrin was subsequently converted into 6A,D-dicarboxy-3A,D-diepi-α-cyclodextrin, 3A,D-dioxo-α-cyclodextrin and 3A,D-diamino-3A,D-dideoxy-3A,D-diepi-α-cyclodextrin. The binding of these compounds to CH4 and CO2 was determined.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
