Esterification at the O2 and O3 positions of -cyclodextrin has been achieved in high overall yield via protection by the ButMe2Si- group at the O6 position and the use of the dimethylaminopyridine as an acylation catalyst. The silyl protecting group was removed by use of BF3·Et2O to give the novel amphiphilic -cyclodextrin derivatives. The resulting amphiphilic compounds form mixed vesicules with phospholipids.
