Helicity induction on water-soluble oligoresorcinols in alkaline water and their application to chirality sensing.
Oligoresorcinol oligomers were found to adopt a single-stranded helical conformation in alkaline water through intramolecular hydrogen bonds, of which a helix-sense bias was induced by the addition of water-soluble chiral compounds, such as ammonium salts, amines and alcohols.
