Today’s cyclodextrin is some nice, CD-supported chemistry.

Highlights
• Cyclodextrins assist water-based biphasic hydroformylation.
• Examined for the first time using an in-situ image-based boroscopic technology.
• RAME-β cyclodextrins increased the aLL by 84 %
• Kinetic study showed that RAME-β cyclodextrins reduce the rate-limiting effect of the nonanal concentration.
• Increasing RAME-β cyclodextrins concentration decreases the dependency of the reaction rates on the conversion progress.
