Objective: To study the synthesis and characterization of Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin.Methods: Used sodium hydroxide as catalyst,hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin was synthesized through the reaction between β-Cyclodextrin and propylene oxide or propylene oxychloride respectively.The influence of condensetion reagent,the reaction time,temperature and the density of NaOH on the yield was discussed.Results: The propylene oxide was the best condensation reagent.The hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin was synthesized with 37% yield when molar ratio of ...
