Highly Enantioselective Recognition of Structurally Diverse α‐Hydroxycarboxylic Acids using a Fluorescent Sensor

Abstract

The shining: Readily accessible BINOL amino alcohol (S)-1 is a highly enantioselective fluorescent sensor for structurally diverse α-hydroxycarboxylic acids, and is the first highly enantioselective fluorescent sensor for the recognition of linear aliphatic α-hydroxycarboxylic acids and α-tertiary-hydroxycarboxylic acids.
