Photoresolution of an Axially Chiral Bicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one: Phototriggers for a Liquid Crystal-Based Optical Switch
摘要:
The axially chiral ketones 8-(phenylmethylene)bicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one (1) and 3-(phenylmethylene)bicyclo[3.2,1]octan-8-one (2) were prepared and investigated for suitability as a chiroptical trigger in a liquid crystal-based optical switch. Irradiation of optically active ketone 1 with unpolarized light leads to its efficient photoracemization. Its irradiation with circularly polarized light leads to partial photoresolution with an enantiomeric excess sufficient for it to function as a chiroptical trigger. However, 1 is not sufficiently soluble in ZLI-1167, a nematic liquid crystalline material, to induce a measurable pitch. Ketone 2 is unstable to irradiation and is not suitable for use as a chiroptical trigger.
