title: Chiral recognition of thiaheterohelicenes by alkyl beta-D-pyranoside micelles. Influence of extension of helix.
abstract: Chiral recognition of alkyl beta-D-pyranoside micelles toward [7] and [5] heterohelicenes possessing helical structures was investigated by 1H-NMR and CD (circular dichroism) spectroscopy. In dodecyl maltopyranoside micellar solution, P and M enantiomers of tetrathia[7]heterohelicene (7TH), which have rigid and stable helixes, manifested different chemical shifts in their 1H-NMR spectra due to differences in the diastereomeric interactions, implying that the micelles undergo stronger recognition toward the M enantiomer than the P enantiomer. On the other hand, in octyl glucopyranoside micellar solution, trithia[5]heterohelicene (5TH) and two kinds of its derivatives which are rapidly equilibrated between the enantiomers in solution, gave no distinctly resolved 1H-NMR peaks for either enantiomer even at a lowered temperature. However, these racemic [5]heterohelicenes in the micelles did develop induced CD absorptions owing to a displacement of the equilibrium, suggesting from the signs of their Cotton effects that the micelles prefer the M enantiomer to its antipode in conformity with the 1H-NMR results of 7TH.
