Artificial enzymes: synthesis of imidazole substituted at C(2) of β-cyclodextrin as an efficient enzyme model of chymotrypsin

Abstract
Imidazole has been attached at C(2) on the more open face of β-cyclodextrin to mimic the enzyme chymotrypsin; this chemical model is shown to be catalytically far superior to that with an imidazole on the primary side [C(6)] of cyclodextrin.
