New methods of modification of α-cyclodextrin While being some of the oldest supramolecular hosts, cyclodextrins remain very popular as molecular binders in materials, devices, artificial enzymes and more. The popularity is undoubtedly connected to the ready availability, carbohydrate biomass origin, biodegradability and water solubility of the cyclodextrins.

Silylene Acetals from Cheap Reagents: Synthesis and Regioselective Opening In this communication a practical method for using cheap and easily available silylene chlorides for diol protection is presented. The method is based on activation of the reagents using Finkelstein like conditions. Silylene acetals of carbohydrates are synthesized and it is furthermore shown how these can be regioselectively opened using Grignard reagents.
