Popis: A receptor assembly composed of iron(II) triflate and pyridine-2,6-dicarbaldehyde is used to determine the enantiomeric excess of alpha-chiral primary amines using circular dichroism spectroscopy. The alpha chiral amines condense with the dialdehyde to form a diimine, which forms a 2:1 octahedral complex with iron(II). The enantiomeric excess values of unknown concentrations of alpha-chiral amines were determined by constructing calibration curves for each amine and then measuring the ellipticity at 600nm. This improves our previously reported assay for enantiomeric excess determination of chiral primary amines by further increasing the wavelength at which CD is measured and reducing the absolute error of the assay.
