✦ Synopsis

b-cyclodextrins (b-CD), functionalised at the 6-position with trifluoromethylthio groups, are obtained in five steps from the native b-CD. The fluorinated cyclodextrin derivatives exhibit an amphiphilic behaviour at the air-water interface and thus are good candidates for a new class of amphiphilic carriers.
