Abstract
In an effort to develop reactivity-based dynamic covalent bonding and to expand the scope and application of the dynamic covalent chemistry, in situ-generated simple generic iminium ions were utilized for the dynamic covalent binding of monoalcohols with high affinity. Hammett analysis was conducted to manipulate the equilibrium and correlate with the reactivity of reactants. The structural features of aldehydes and secondary amines were identified, and both polar and steric effects have significant impact on the binding. In particular, the substrates which can participate in π-π and polar-π interactions are able to afford apparent equilibrium constants in the magnitude of 10(4) M(-2), demonstrating the power of weak supramolecular forces to stabilize the dynamic covalent assembly. The generality of the assembly was validated with a series of mono secondary alcohols. To showcase the practicality of our system, chirality discrimination and ee measurement of chiral secondary alcohols were achieved.
