Review: a history of cyclodextrins.

Cu(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC), popularly known as the “click reaction”, serves as the most potent and highly dependable tool for facile construction of simple to complex architectures at the molecular level. Click-knitted threads of two exclusively different molecular entities have created some really interesting structures for more than 15 years with a broad spectrum of applicability, including in the fascinating fields of synthetic chemistry, medicinal science, biochemistry, pharmacology, material science, and catalysis. The unique properties of the carbohydrate moiety and the advantages of highly chemo- and regioselective click chemistry, such as mild reaction conditions, efficient performance with a wide range of solvents, and compatibility with different functionalities, together produce miraculous neoglycoconjugates and neoglycopolymers with various synthetic, biological, and pharmaceutical applications. In this review we highlight the successful advancement of Cu(I)...

Glycosylated Porphyrins, Phthalocyanines, and Other Porphyrinoids for Diagnostics and Therapeutics.

Intramolecular Cross-Linking Methodologies for the Synthesis of Polymer Nanoparticles.

This review focuses on the postfunctionalization of porphyrins and related compounds through catalytic and stoichiometric organometallic methodologies. The employment of organometallic reactions has become common in porphyrin synthesis. Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are now standard techniques for constructing carbon–carbon bonds in porphyrin synthesis. In addition, iridium- or palladium-catalyzed direct C–H functionalization of porphyrins is emerging as an efficient way to install various substituents onto porphyrins. Furthermore, the copper-mediated Huisgen cycloaddition reaction has become a frequent strategy to incorporate porphyrin units into functional molecules. The use of these organometallic techniques, along with the traditional porphyrin synthesis, now allows chemists to construct a wide range of highly elaborated and complex porphyrin architectures.

Synthesis and Functionalization of Porphyrins through Organometallic Methodologies

A series of porphyrin-cored glycodendrimers containing 8, 12, 16, and 24 β-d-glucopyranose units at the periphery, have been synthesized by convergent methodology using click chemistry. The structure of developed dendrimers is established by 1H and 13C NMR, IR, MALDI-TOF MS, and SEC analysis. Absorption–emission behavior of dendrimers and its modulation under the influence of the dendritic environment is also investigated.
