Induced chirality sensing through formation and aggregation of the chiral imines double winged with pyrenes or perylenes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Aug 14;54(66):9206-9209. doi: 10.1039/c8cc03660h.

Abstract

Reaction of chiral amines with benzaldehydes 3,5-disubstituted by two pyrenes or perylenes afforded corresponding double winged chiral imines, which aggregated to show significantly enhanced circular dichroism spectra at the transition bands of the chromophores in the mixture solutions of DMF and H2O.
