Normal hydrocarbons tumble rapidly in a deep, water-soluble cavitand.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A deep, water-soluble cavitand extracts n-alkanes and other water-insoluble species into its cavity via hydrophobic forces: alkanes bind in a helical manner, and tumble rapidly on the NMR timescale inside the binding pocket.

Water-soluble cavitands promote hydrolyses of long-chain diesters.
Water-soluble, deep cavitands serve as chaperones of long-chain diesters for their selective hydrolysis in aqueous solution. The cavitands bind the diesters in rapidly exchanging, folded J-shape conformations that bury the hydrocarbon chain and expose each ester group in turn to the aqueous medium. The acid hydrolyses in the presence of the cavitand result in enhanced yields of monoacid monoest...
متن کاملComplexation of alkyl groups and ghrelin in a deep, water-soluble cavitand.
A cavitand with ionic, but nonionizable "feet" folds around hydrophobic guests in D2O. Short alkanes and ibuprofen are included and exchange rates are slow on the NMR timescale. Normal octanoyl groups show good affinity for the cavitand and the gastric peptide ghrelin is bound at low pH and physiological temperature.
متن کامل1H NMR detection of small molecules in human urine with a deep cavitand synthetic receptor.
A water-soluble deep cavitand recognized alkylammonium salts, including the drug amantadine hydrochloride, in spiked samples of human urine. The signals of the guests are detected by (1)H NMR upfield of 0 ppm and so occur in a spectroscopic window that is outside of the normal region and distinct from the signals of the biofluid components.
متن کاملGuest-mediated switching of the assembly state of a water-soluble deep-cavity cavitand.
Deep-cavity cavitand TEMOA (2) is shown to assemble via the hydrophobic effect into tetrameric and hexameric assemblies. With inner volumes of 1400-1500 Å(3) and 3200-3700 Å(3) respectively, these well-defined and mono-dispersed assemblies represent the largest of their type to date.
متن کاملSolvent denaturation of supramolecular capsules assembled via the hydrophobic effect.
The organic co-solvent induced denaturation of a series of capsular complexes formed between trioxolane guests and a water-soluble deep-cavity cavitand was examined. The results obtained demonstrate a wide range of denaturation properties, and suggest the important factors governing capsule stability.
