Chiral Modified Electrode Surfaces: Preparation, Characterization and Application in the Enantioselective Synthesis

摘要

An electron itself can not be chiral. Thus - to achieve asymmetric induction in an electrochemical reaction -the electron transfer has to take place in a chiral environment. We realized this environment through modification of platinum surfaces with poly(pyrroles) (poly-1, poly-2) based on chiral monomers (1, 2)/1/. A coating like this is marked by a high density of chiral information.
