Abstract

The two pyrrolidinylidenesulfamido-modified β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) 3 and 4 were prepared and studied for chiral discrimination of the enantiomers (R)- and (S)-1 of zolmitriptan. The pyrrolidinylidenesulfamido spacer improved the chiral discrimination and binding abilities of these modified cyclodextrins. The hosts 3 and 4 showed higher selectivity for (S)-1. The association constants (Table) and enantioselectivity factors were calculated for the complexes of (R)- and (S)-1 with the β-CDs 24. The formation of host⋅guest complexes was confirmed by 1H-NMR studies.
