Enantioselective sensing of chiral amino alcohols with a stereodynamic arylacetylene-based probe

摘要

Enantioselective induced circular dichroism analysis of amino alcohols has been accomplished using a conformationally flexible arylacetylene-based probe exhibiting two terminal aldehyde groups. The chirality of the amino alcohol substrates is imprinted on the stereodynamic receptor upon [1 + 2] condensation, which ultimately generates a strong chiroptical response. The distinct induced circular dichroism effects of the diimines obtained can be used for enantioselective sensing and enantiomeric excess determination of a wide range of substrates.
