Organic models of flavoenzymes consist of a binding site covalently attached to a flavin derivative acting as the catalytic site. The earlier reported synthesis of such a model using alpha-cyclodextrin as the binding site proved to be difficult to reproduce with beta-cyclodextrin. The synthetic strategy involved attaching a fully constructed riboflavin onto a cyclodextrin by a nucleophilic reaction. Riboflavin was found to decompose under the reaction conditions. A new method for the synthesis of flavocyclodextrins involving construction of the flavin moiety onto cyclodextrin is convenient and can be used to synthesize 6-flavocyclodextrins and 2-flavocyclodextrins.

Heptakis(6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)β-cyclodextrin reacts with N-methyl-4-chloromethyl-2-nitroaniline to produce the 3-modified cyclodextrin after the necessary deprotection step. Complete NMR assignment and its comparison with cyclodextrin derivatives modified by the same group at the 2- and 6-position is reported.

Selective protection of the secondaryside of β-cyclodextrin by reaction with t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride in the presence of NaH in dry DMF, is reported. Although, all the hydroxyl groups are not silylated in this reaction, these groups offer steric protection and direct the incoming electrophile to the primary side of the molecule.
Artificial redox enzymes are disclosed wherein one or more redox coenzymes or cofactors are linked to the 2-O, 3-O or 6-O positions of a D-glucopyranose ring of .alpha.-, .beta.-, or .gamma.-cyclodextrins. Also disclosed are facile synthetic methods for producing said artificial redox enzymes in good yield, and methods of use of such compositions.

;Monomodifications of cyclodextrins to give selectively 2-, 3-, or 6-substituted product is a challenging task because of the number of hydroxyl groups that can potentially react with the incoming reagent. The principles and the methods involved in manipulations of the differences in the chemistry of these hydroxyl groups to control the outcome of an electrophilic reaction with them to produce monoalkylated (ether-linkaged) cyclodextrin derivatives are discussed and illustrated.
