Complexation between tert-Butyl Ketones and β-Cyclodextrin. Structural Study by NMR and MD Simulations

Abstract
A structural study (NMR and MD) of the complexation between tert-butyl ketones and beta-cyclodextrin has been performed. A priority order for the alkyl and phenyl groups composing the ketones has been determined based on association constants: Ph- > C(6)H(11)- = t-Bu- > Bu-, Pr-, Me-. Geometries for the complexes are proposed based on NOE values and on the MD simulations. Bimodal complexation occurs in all the compounds studied.
