Cyclodextrinyl group-containing organosilicon compounds contain
cyclodextrin or cyclodextrin derivatives bonded to an organosilicon
moiety through a divalent linking group. The compounds are easily
prepared in high yield by reaction of reactive cyclodextrin or
cyclodextrin derivatives with an organosilicon compound reactive
therewith. The compounds have numerous uses, including treatment of
organic fibers to provide long lasting fragrances or freshness
characteristics.
