trans-Cyclohexane-1,2-diamine Is a Weak Director of Absolute Helicity in Chiral Nickel−Salen Complexes
摘要:
The interconversion between helical diastereomers of nickel-salen-based foldamers can be observed on a NMR time scale. Such complexes provide quantitative information about the propensity of different elements of central chirality to control the absolute sense of folding. trans-Cyclohexane-1,2-diamine-a common component of chiral salen catalysts-is a surprisingly weak director of absolute helicity in nickel-salen foldamers. Implications for asymmetric catalysis are discussed.

Described is the design, synthesis, and characterization of abiotic, single-stranded metallofoldamers that adopt helical secondary structures upon metal complexation. The absolute helicity is determined by stereocenters at the ends of the structures and is enforced by the steric influence and hydrogen bonding ability of esters in the backbone of the foldamer. Folding of the structures is characterized in the solid state by X-ray crystallography and in solution by specific rotation, CD spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy.
