A comparative study of reaction conditions was performed for the synthesis of a 2-O-monobenzyl ether of cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-CD). Optimal conditions involved sodium ethoxide in Me(2)SO and benzyl bromide. The methodology was extended to the preparation of various 2(I)-O-iodobenzyl and 2(I)-O-carboxymethylbenzyl
