A process and equipment assembly for reacting a substituent precursor with a cyclodextrin starting material to provide a raw product comprising a cyclodextrin derivative and 1% or less of an initial amount of the substituent precursor is provided. The process of the present invention provides cyclodextrin derivatives in substantially shorter time and with fewer side products than previous processes that utilize substantially the same starting materials.

Described herein are improved chemical reactors for carrying out partial oxidation reactions. The chemical reactor permits the use of levels of oxygen above the lower explosion limit (LEL) typically used in partial oxidation reactions, which increases both volumetric reactivity and conversion per pass, resulting in reduced separation and reactant recycle costs. Also described are methods of using the reactors.

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of D-glucitol, 1,5-anhydro-1-C-[4-chloro-3-[[4-[[(3S)-tetrahydro-3-furanyl)oxy)phenyl] methyl]phenyl]-, (IS) formula-1.

The present invention provides a method for producing a compound having an alkylated acidic functional group, the method comprising reacting, in a mixture containing two or more compounds having an acidic functional group as substrates, the compounds with an alkylating agent selected from compounds represented by formula A, formula B, or formula C in the presence of a base to alkylate the acidic functional group.

Provided herein are cyclodecynes, including chiral cyclodecynes, and methods of making cyclodecynes. The methods may include providing a 1,1-biaryl compound substituted independently at the 2-position and the 2-position with a hydroxyl or an amino group; and contacting the 1,1-biaryl compound with a protected but-2-yne-1,4-diol to form the cyclodecyne.
