Kang, Seongbum; Cha, Inhwan; Han, Jeon Geon; Song, Changsik published an article in Materials Express. The title of the article was 《Electroactive polymer sensors for chiral amines based on optically active 1,1′-binaphthyls》.Synthetic Route of C24H20I2O4 The author mentioned the following in the article:
Mol. chirality is vital in biol. functions and discriminating such chirality is important in organic synthesis, bio-synthesis, medicinal chem., and drug development. The authors developed electroactive chiral sensors by incorporating binaphthol moieties into the polymer main chains. The binaphthyl scaffold of the binaphthol moiety recognizes one form of chirality from the other, and its phenol groups play a vital role in the charge transporting mechanism. Aiming for chiral amine sensors, the authors synthesized binaphthol-containing electropolymerizable monomers and polymerized to produce proton-dopable chiral polymers, which were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, potentiometry, and in situ conductivity measurements. Chiral discriminating ability of the resulting polymers was tested and their sensing mechanism is proposed. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (R)-3,3′-Diiodo-2,2′-bis(methoxymethoxy)-1,1′-binaphthalene(cas: 189518-78-3Synthetic Route of C24H20I2O4)
(R)-3,3′-Diiodo-2,2′-bis(methoxymethoxy)-1,1′-binaphthalene(cas: 189518-78-3) belongs to organic iodides. Organic iodides are used in veterinary products (Organic Iodide Powder) as a nutritional source of iodine. In the chemical industry, alkyl iodides serve as excellent alkylating agents and, specifically, methyl iodide is used as a methylating agent in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical drugs.Synthetic Route of C24H20I2O4
