We synthesized two kinds of chiral polystyrene-based monoliths, which are macroporous gel with continuous open-celled monolith structure. Thus, two chiral styrene monomers, (-)-p-[dimethyl(10-pinanyl)silyl]styrene ((-)-PSSt) and (-)-p-(menthoxycarbonyl)styrene ((-)-MtSt]), were prepared and subjected to water-in-oil emulsion polymerization in the presence of divinylbenzene and AIBN. The macroporous structure of the obtained monoliths was directly confirmed by SEM observation. The obtained monoliths showed an optical resolution ability. That is, in the enantioselective adsorption using trans-stilbene oxide, poly[(-)-PSSt] monolith and poly[(-)-MtSt] monoliths preferentially adsorbed (S,S)-isomer [poly[(-)-PSSt] monolith: α (S,S) = 1.49 (0.25 wt % acetone solution); poly[(-)-MtSt] monolith: α (S,S) = 1.39 (0.25 wt % toluene solution)]. Depinanylsilylation of the poly[(-)-PSSt] monolith and removal of menthyl groups from the poly[(-)-MtSt] monolith were achieved by acid-catalyzed scission of the Si-C bond and base-catalyzed hydrolysis, respectively. In addition, de-poly[(-)-PSSt] and de-poly[(-)-MtSt] showed enantioselectivity ((S,S)-isomer preferentially absorbed) in adsorption using trans-stilbene oxide in spite of the absence of chiral substituents in the monoliths.
