The dawn of chiral material development using saccharide-based helical polymers
نویسنده
چکیده
Polysaccharides, such as cellulose and amylose, are abundant and optically active carbohydrate-based resources. Their suitably modified derivatives (for example, benzoate and phenylcarbamate derivatives) exhibit excellent resolution abilities for a wide variety of chiral compounds when applied to chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography. Despite the established application of polysaccharides in CSP materials, their use in other chiral functional materials has been limited. In this review, the author describes the functionalization of cellulose and amylose to yield novel chiral functions other than those in CSPs, as well as the use of these materials for various applications, such as asymmetric organocatalysts, chiral auxiliaries and chiral fluorescent sensors. The synthesis of a saccharide-containing polymer via the polymerization of a glucose-based monomer and its application as a circularly polarized luminescence material are also described.

Formation of higher-order structures of chiral poly(ethynylpyridine)s depending on size, temperature, and saccharide recognition.
Amphiphilic 2,6-pyridylene ethynylene "meta-ethynylpyridine" polymers having chiral oligo(oxyethylene) side chains were developed as hosts for saccharide recognition. The polymers were prepared via a Sonogashira reaction and fractionated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). They showed circular dichroism (CD) activity due to their higher-order chiral helical structures, and their CD and UV-v...
متن کاملExact helical polymer synthesis by a two-point-covalent-linking protocol between C2-chiral spirobifluorene and C2- or C(s)-symmetric anthraquinone monomers.
Two types of one-handed exact helical polymers, coil- and screw-shaped polymers, were synthesized by the two-point-covalent-linking protocol using C2-chiral spirobifluorene (SBF) and C2- or C(s)-symmetric anthraquinone spacers. Central to this protocol is a new aromatic ring-forming reaction based on the stepwise reductive cyclization of bis(aryloxy group)-substituted anthraquinone derivatives....
متن کاملPrecision synthesis, structure and function of helical polymers
Helical structures are chiral, which means that if we can synthesize a polymer having a stable one-handed helicity, the polymer is optically active. In 1979, we succeeded in the synthesis of a one-handed helical polymer from an optically inactive achiral monomer, triphenylmethyl methacrylate (TrMA). This is the first example of the asymmetric synthesis of an optically active one-handed helical ...

Construction of predominantly one-handed helical polyacetylenes with a desired helix sense utilizing noncovalent chiral interactions with nonracemic chiral guest compounds based on a supramolecular approach is described. As with the conventional dynamic helical polymers possessing optically active pendant groups covalently bonded to the polymer chains, this noncovalent helicity induction system...

The bimetallic chiral bipyridyl-type metalloligands based on aluminium derivatives of cinchonine, [R(2)Al(μ-CN)](2) (R = Me or Et), in combination with the corresponding ZnR(2) compound as nodes were used for the generation of novel homochiral heterometallic coordination polymers of either zig-zag or helical topology, depending on the character of the R substituent.
