1,2‐Dihydro‐1‐hydroxy‐2,3,1‐benzodiazaborine Bearing an Acridine Moiety as a Circular Dichroism Probe for Determination of Absolute Configuration of Mono‐Alcohols
A new chiral probe molecule for mono‐alcohols is developed by using 1,2‐dihydro‐1‐hydroxy‐2,3,1‐benzodiazaborine (DAB) bearing an acridine moiety 1. In the presence of mono‐alcohols, DAB 1 forms borate 2 by boronic ester formation, followed by coordination of the acridine moiety to the boron atom. Borate 2 has a chiral center on the boron atom and works as a stereodynamic circular dichroism (CD) probe
