Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chiral materials, and specifically relates to a multi-substituted ferrocene-Cu + Chiral materials, preparation methods and their applications in electrochemical chiral recognition. Technical Background

[0002] Chiral recognition is of great significance for catalysis and drug synthesis. Chirality refers to the property that the mirror images of isomers do not overlap, which plays an important role in the framework of food and life sciences. Therefore, the study of chiral substances has attracted much attention in recent years. In addition, efficient identification and detection of chiral isomers is of great significance in the fields of medicine and pharmaceuticals. Chiral amino acids are widely used in pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, agriculture and other industries.

[0003] Tryptophan (Trp) is not only one of the essential amino acids for the human body, but also a basic component of protein and an important precursor for the synthesis of auxin in organisms. L-Tryptophan (L-Trp) plays a significant role in organisms and helps control people's emotions. Lack of L-Trp may lead to some diseases and is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. D-Tryptophan (D-Trp) is a non-protein amino acid. Although it does not participate in the metabolism of living systems, D-Trp is often used to synthesize immunosuppressants and anticancer drugs. Therefore, exploring a simple, efficient and practical method for identifying amino acid enantiomers is of great significance to pharmaceutics and biochemistry.

[0004] Electrochemical methods have attracted more and more attention in recent years due to their advantages such as easy operation, low cost, high efficiency and strong recognition ability. The construction of electrochemical chiral interfaces is a hot topic in the research of electrochemical sensors.

[0005] (2R)-1-[(S)-α-(dimethylamino)-2-(diphenylphosphino)benzyl]-2-diphenylphosphinoferrocene (Taniaphos) is a common multi-substituted ferrocene, often used as a catalyst for asymmetric synthesis. Since the benzene ring on the substituent of Taniaphos can rotate, it is considered to be a chiral diphosphine ligand ferrocene. Therefore, various amino acid enantiomers can be separated by adjusting its stereochemical structure. Taniaphos, Cu + D-amino acids can form ternary complexes to enhance the chirality of Taniaphos, and electrochemical recognition based on Taniaphos has received little attention. Inspired by this, we prepared multi-substituted ferrocene-Cu + (Taniaphos-Cu + ) chiral materials, providing a good chiral interface for molecular recognition. Summary of the invention

[0035] Example 1: Preparation of Taniaphos-Cu + Chiral Materials

[0036] Preparation of Taniaphos-Cu + Chiral material, comprising the following steps:

[0037] Preparation of Taniaphos-Cu + Solution: Weigh 37.72 mg of tetraacetonitrile copper hexafluorophosphate (I) and 68.7 mg of (2R)-1-[(S)-α-(dimethylamino)-2-(diphenylphosphino)benzyl]-2-diphenylphosphinoferrocene in a beaker, add 10 mL of 1,2-dichloroethane, and after the solid is completely dissolved, transfer the solution to a 100 mL volumetric flask, make up to volume, shake well, and stand at 4 ° C for 12 h to obtain Taniaphos-Cu + Solution, namely Taniaphos-Cu + Chiral materials.

[0038] like Figure 1 Taniaphos-Cu + Scanning electron microscope image. It can be seen that Taniaphos-Cu + It has an irregular block structure.

[0039] Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize [(CH3CN)4Cu]PF6, Taniaphos and Taniaphos-Cu + The results are as follows Figure 2 [(CH3CN)4Cu]PF6 at 829cm –1 and 559cm –1There are two strong peaks at 1651 cm-1, which are attributed to the stretching vibration of PF. –1 The characteristic peaks are attributed to the stretching vibration of C=C in cyclopentadiene. + In the spectrum of –1 characteristic peak, and at 840cm –1 A new characteristic peak appeared at , which was attributed to the formation of Cu-P coordination bond, proving that Taniaphos-Cu + Successful synthesis of chiral materials.
