Optically active dendrimers containing a 1,1'-binaphthyl core and cross-conjugated phenylene dendrons were synthesized and characterized. The chiral optical properties of these phenylene-based dendrimers are different from the previously reported phenyleneethynylene-based dendrimers probably because of the increased steric interaction between the adjacent phenylene units. UV and fluorescence spectroscopic studies demonstrate that the energy harvested by the periphery of the dendrimers can be efficiently transferred to the more conjugated core, generating much enhanced fluorescence signal at higher generation. The fluorescence of these dendrimers can be quenched both efficiently and enantioselectively by chiral amino alcohols. The energy migration and light-harvesting effects of the dendrimers make the higher generation dendrimer more sensitive to fluorescent quenchers than the lower ones. Thus, the dendritic structure provides a signal amplification mechanism. These materials are potentially useful in the enantioselective recognition of chiral organic molecules.
A method for determining the enantiomers of 10 therapeutically relevant aminoalcohols using HPLC and precolumn derivatization was developed. Naphthyl isocyanate reacted with racemic aminoalcohols to form urea derivatives which were separated isocratically on a cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) coated silica gel column, and detected fluorometrically in the lower ng mL(-1) range. The effluents can also be monitored at lower sensitivity, using an ultraviolet detector operated at 220 nm.
A series of new acyclonucleosides analogues 3 has been synthesized very efficiently in three steps starting from beta-amino alcohols 1. The key step of this process is a nucleophilic substitution with various nucleophiles on 2,2'-anhydronucleosides 2. The chemo- and stereoselectivities of this reaction are discussed. AM1 calculations sustained the observed chemoselectivity.
