Synthesis of novel d-glucose based anionic bolaamphiphiles and their catalytic application in 1,3-dipolar nitrone cycloaddition reactions

Three d-glucose based bolaamphiphiles have been synthesized by a simple and efficient synthetic methodology utilizing the free C-3 hydroxyl group of diisopropylidene glucose. The resulting bolaamphiphiles showed unique aggregation behavior in aqueous solution, e.g. transformation of vesicle to tubular morphology on aging. The chiral hydro...More
