We have synthesized minor groove imidazole functionalized (S)-BINOL from (S)-BINOL. The molecule has been designed in such a way that this molecule introduces new opportunities in the field of chiral recognition and Cu(II) sensing. The developed sensor has high selectivity for Cu(II) among the metal ions tested by fluorescence turn off manner. The fluorescence chiral discrimination towards unmodified α-aminoacids has been studied for the in situ generated Cu(II) complex of 1 which shows remarkable results. The ligand displacement mechanism can be attributed for the fluorescent chiral discrimination. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Enantioselective recognition of unmodified amino acids by ligand-displacement assays with in situ generated 1:1 Cu(II)- BINOL imidazole complex

Two BINOL based boronate esters, namely (S)-2 and (S)-3, were designed and synthesized. Fluorescent recognition studies of (S)-2 towards enantiomers of mandelic acid revealed that sensor (S)-2 exhibited high fluorescent enantioselective response towards mandelic acid. The other boronate ester (S)-3 which did not have hydroxyl group in the minor groove of BINOL did not show any fluorescent chiral discrimination. Their enantioselective recognition was also studied by means of1H NMR spectroscopy. The results indicated that the sensor (S)-2 was very promising as a chiral fluorescent sensor for the recognition of chiral carboxylic acid in THF solvent. Theoretically predicted hydrogen bonding interactions revealed a favorable chiral recognition between the receptor and L-mandelic acid, which is well correlated with experimentally observed enantioselective recognition phenomenon. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.
