Tunable Chiral Reaction Media Based on Two-Component Liquid Crystals: Regio-, Diastereo-, and Enantiocontrolled Photodimerization of Anthracenecarboxylic Acids
Three kinds of enantiopure amphiphilic aminoalcohols (1a-c) were newly synthesized, of which the stereochemistry of the stereogenic carbons adjacent to the amino (C2) and hydroxy (C1) groups was systematically varied. By using these aminoalcohols and four photoreactive carboxylic acids, 12 kinds of salts were prepared. The structure and thermal behavior of the salts were thoroughly investigated by
