Abstract
Lipophilic cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives were prepared to extract alkali metal cations from a water phase into an organic phase. The extraction equilibrium constant, K ex, was determined by the solvent extraction method using UV absorption spectroscopy. Hydroxyl groups at the carbons in the 2,6-positions of CD molecules were dipropylated to add the hydrophobicity for dissolving into organic solvents, and furthermore hydroxyl groups at the carbons in the 3-position of these derivatives were acylated as complexing sites with the alkali metal cations. These CD derivatives formed a 1 : 1 complex with alkali metal cations, except for the case of Li+, and transported the alkali metal cations from a water phase into a benzene phase. The initial concentrations of alkali metal cation and picrate anion in the water phase and that of the CD derivatives in the organic phase strongly influenced the extraction equilibrium. Extraction of the alkali metal cation by the derivative without acyl groups was not detected. K ex values of these CD derivatives are of the same order of magnitude as or larger than those of crown ethers. The order of the K ex values in all cases is Li+ < Na+ < K+ ≃ Rb+ ≃ Cs+, although these CD derivatives have no special selectivity for the alkali metal cations. The cation extraction mechanism was interpreted by an induced-fit mechanism.
