Abstract

β-cyclodextrin butenate was synthesized by using N, N'-Carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) activating reagent and 4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as catalyst. The best preparation condition of β-CD butenate was described as below: reaction temperature was 25°C, concentration of 2-butenoic acid was 450 mmol/L, concentration of DMAP was 12.5 mmol/L and reaction time was 20 minutes and at this condition the yield of β-CD butenate was 0.83 mmol/g. According to the results of FT-IR spectrum, NMR spectroscopy and HPLC-QTof-mass spectrum of β-CD butenate, there were four types β-CD butenate synthesized, which were β-CD-2-butenoic acid monoester, β-CD-2-butenoic acid diester, β-CD-2-butenoic acid triester and β-CD-2-butenoic acid tetraester, respectively.
