Creation of chiral macromolecules with self-replicating and improving abilities

通过枝核与嘧啶基团的偶联反应，合成了具有不对称自催化功能的烷基硅烷树状大分子。结果表明，手性树突状大分子具有不对称自催化、自我复制和自我完善的能力。此外，还利用不对称自催化技术对等规聚苯乙烯的隐手性进行了判别。

Alkylsilane dendrimers with multi-functionalities of asymmetric autocatalysis were synthesized by the coupling reaction between the dendritic core and pyrimidine moieties. It was found that the chiral dendritic macromolecules possess the ability of the asymmetric autocatalytic self-replication and self-improvement. In addition, the discrimination of cryptochirality of isotactic polystyrene has been achieved in conjunction with asymmetric autocatalysis.
