Reductive Radical Cascades Triggered by Alkoxyl Radicals in the β-Cyclodextrin Framework

The generation and fate of 2,3,6-icosa-O-methyl-β-cyclomaltoheptaos-6-O-yl radical under reductive conditions is described. Two radical cascade reactions are involved: the main one is triggered by a 1,8-HAT of the hydrogen at 5C. The radical can reach the anomeric hydrogen at 1C three sugar units ahead using a six-step sequence. The different hydrogen donor ability of the group 14 hydrides permits one to selectively stop the cascade at 5C, 2C, and 4C to obtain β-CD with a β-l-Idop unit, acyclic hepta-, and hexa-saccharide structures, respectively.
