    Abstract:
    Various types of chiral host molecules 2-7 based on a phenolphthalein skeleton and two crown ethers were prepared for use in visual enantiomeric recognition, and we examined their enantioselective coloration in complexation with chiral amino acid derivatives 9-22 in methanol solution. Methyl-substituted host (S,S,S,S)-3 showed particularly prominent enantiomer selectivity for the alanine amide derivatives 11 and 12. A combination of methyl-substituted host (S,S,S,S)-3 with guest (R)-11 or (R)-12 developed a purple color, whereas no color development was observed with (S)-11 or (S)-12. On the other hand, phenyl-substituted host (S,S,S,S)-6 showed deeper coloration with a wide range of (S)-beta-amino alcohols compared to that seen with host (S,S,S,S)-6 and the corresponding (R)-beta-amino alcohols at 0 degrees C. Furthermore, absorbance inversion temperatures (AIT) were observed within the range of 0-50 degrees C in many cases.
