摘要

Cyclodextrins, widely applied in green organic synthesis, can transfer hydrophobic molecules into water by the supramolecular interaction. As an important kind of host molecules, they can also influence the microenvironment of hydrophobic molecules by the host-guest interaction and change traditional reaction conditions to obtain good yield without byproduct. The recent developments of application of cyclodextrins in green organic reactions such as oxidation reaction, addition reaction, ring opening reaction, deprotection reaction, coupling reaction, substitution reaction, etc. are reviewed. The catalytic mechanisms are also discussed in this article.
