Catalysis of the Reaction of p-Nitrophenyl Alkanoates with Cyclodextrins by Potential Inhibitors: Simple Allosteric Activation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00116a043

The cleavage of p-nitrophenyl alkanoates (acetate to hexanoate) by β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in basic aqueous solution is catalyzed by additives (ROH, RCO2(-), and RSO3(-)) that are expected to be inhibitors.The magnitude of the catalysis by 1-butanol increas
