Synthesis and solid state structure of pyridyl diboroxines linked by a chiral spacer analogous to Troger's base Mark Elsegood Marc Kimber 2134/16853 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/Synthesis_and_solid_state_structure_of_pyridyl_diboroxines_linked_by_a_chiral_spacer_analogous_to_Troger_s_base/9391361 Pyridyl-assisted templating of phenyl boronic acid has been utilised to link two remote boroxines via a chiral spacer. The chiral spacer is a carbocyclic analogue of Tröger's base and contains a unique chiral cavity, and the flanking boroxine units have been shown, by single crystal X-ray analysis, to extend the size and shape of this cavity. 2015-03-02 15:39:43 Boronic acid Boroxine Chiral cleft Pyridyl Self-assembly Chemical Sciences not elsewhere classified Organic Chemistry
