Self-assembly of chiral BINOL cages via imine condensation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Sep 9;57(72):9088-9091. doi: 10.1039/d1cc01507a.

Abstract

Condensation of an (S)- or (R)-BINOL-derived dialdehyde and tris(2-aminoethyl)amine produced chiral [2+3] imine cages, which were further reduced to furnish more stable chiral amine cages and applied in the enantioselective recognition of (1R,2R)- and (1S,2S)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane.
