Phosphorus derivatives of cyclodextrins. Characteristic features of the synthesis and chemical behaviour

Published data on the preparation of phosphorus derivatives of cyclodextrins are summarized. It is demonstrated that some significant features of their synthesis and chemical behaviour are caused by specific supramolecular interactions involving the inner chiral cavity of cyclodextrins capable of incorporating various guests, which often leads to alteration of customary routes of chemical transformations. The possibilities of practical applications of phosphorus cyclodextrin derivatives are briefly analyzed.
