The First Dendrimer-Based Enantioselective Fluorescent Sensor for the Recognition of Chiral Amino Alcohols

Abstract

Enhanced fluorescence as well as more sensitive fluorescence responses towards chiral quenchers are observed for dendrimer 1 (R=tBu) than its chiral core binaphthol unit. The fluorescence of the chiral dendrimer 1 is quenched efficiently and enantioselectively by chiral amino alcohols such as 2.
