Synthesis and helix-sense-selective polymerization of a novel phenylacetylene having a trisiloxanyl group and two hydroxyl groups and enantioselective permeability of the resulting chiral polymeric membrane: Effect of the trisiloxanyl group on the polymerization and enantioselective permeability

摘要

To develop a new phenylacetylene monomer suitable for helix-sense-selective polymerization (HSSP) we reported previously and to improve the efficiency of the HSSP and membrane performance of the resulting polymer, a novel phenylacetylene having a trisiloxanyl group (S3BDHPA) was synthesized and polymerized by using a chiral catalytic system and enantioselectivity in permeation of its membrane was examined. S3BDHPA was suitable for the HSSP and the CD absorption of poly(S3BDHPA) was stronger and more stable than that of the corresponding polymer having no siloxanyl groups. In addition, enantioselectivity in permeation of poly(S3BDHPA) was much higher than that of a polymer membrane having no siloxanyl groups. They are thought to be caused by the flexibility and hydrophobicity of the trisiloxane groups.
