Chirality induction by E-Z Photoisomerization in [2,2]paracyclophane-bridged Azobenzene Dimer
نویسندگان
چکیده
We designed and synthesized a new prochiral molecule in which two azobenzene moieties were embedded in [2,2]paracyclophane and showed the chirality induction by E-Z photoisomerization. We also demonstrated the on/off switching of asymmetry by irradiation and reflux respectively.

Dynamic induction of enantiomeric excess from a prochiral azobenzene dimer under circularly polarized light.
The ability to photoinduce enantiomeric excess from the chirality of circularly polarized light (CPL) is pertinent to the study of the origin of homochirality in biomolecules. Such CPL-induced reactions, including both chirality generation and formation of partial enantiomeric imbalance, from nonchiral starting compounds have been known, however, only for the conversion of diarylolefins into ch...

The transfer and dynamic fixation of chirality in cyclic azobenzenes using R-(+)-1-phenylethylalcohol (R-PEA) and S-(-)-1-phenylethylalcohol (S-PEA) as solvents or additives are investigated. The cyclic azobenzenes used in this study carry a 1,5-dioxynaphthalene moiety as rotating unit, connected to the photoisomerizing (E-Z) azobenzene unit with spacers of varying lengths. With suitable length...

2,2'-Dihydroxyazobenzene (DAB), 2,2'-azotoluene (AT) and azobenzene (AB) were isolated in argon and xenon matrices and their molecular structures and photochemical transformations were characterized by infrared spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. All these compounds can adopt the E and Z isomeric forms around the central CNNC moiety, which can be enriched by several conformational and ta...
متن کاملPhotochromism of a water-soluble vesicular [2.2]paracyclophane-bridged imidazole dimer.
Here we report the first photochromism of a newly designed [2.2]paracyclophane-bridged imidazole dimer in water. The photochromic dye with a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic substituent forms vesicles in water and shows instantaneous colouration upon UV light irradiation and successive rapid fading in the dark.
