Reaktionsschritte

In HU 202889, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) is reacted with propylene oxide in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to give hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. The resulting sodium chloride and the propylene glycol are removed by ion exchange and precipitation of the hydroxypropylated β-cyclodextrin in large amounts of acetone, filtration, taking up the filter cake in water, distillation and, finally, spray-drying. The yield is around 90%, and the salt and propylene glycol content is 0.1%.
