Since early work in the 1980s, the bile acids have become well established as building blocks for supramolecular chemistry. The author's laboratory has specialised in converting cholic acid, the archetypal bile acid, into macrocyclic and acyclic receptors for anions and carbohydrates. This review highlights the synthetic aspects of this work, especially the use of modern synthetic methodology to perform less obvious structural transformations.
自20世纪80年代早期开展相关工作以来,胆汁酸已成为超分子化学的重要构建单元。作者所在的实验室专门致力于将典型的胆汁酸——胆酸转化为用于阴离子和碳水化合物的大环及非环受体。本综述着重介绍了这项工作的合成方面,特别是利用现代合成方法进行不太明显的结构转变。
