Synthesis of β-amino macrocyclocholamides for supramolecular chemistry

Non-covalent modification of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has become attractive recently, since covalent modification has the disadvantage that it may impair physical properities of SWNTs. The work described in this thesis utilised cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid as starting material...
