Novel amphiphilic cyclic oligosaccharides: synthesis and self-aggregation properties

J Org Chem. 2007 Dec 7;72(25):9679-89. doi: 10.1021/jo7017087. Epub 2007 Nov 8.

Abstract

Novel amphiphilic cyclic disaccharide analogues, in which the saccharide units are connected through stable phosphodiester linkages (CyPLOS, Cyclic Phosphate-Linked OligoSaccharides) and decorated with long lipophilic tentacles at the 2- and 3-OH moieties, have been synthesized. Their propensity to self-aggregation has been investigated by means of 1H and 31P NMR experiments, making it possible to determine for these macrocycles critical aggregation concentration values in the millimolar range.
