《β-1,3-glucan (schyzophyllan) can act as a one-dimensional host for creating chirally twisted poly(p-phenylene ethynylene)》 was written by Numata, Munenori; Fujisawa, Tomohisa; Li, Chun; Haraguchi, Shunichi; Ikeda, Masato; Sakurai, Kazuo; Shinkai, Seiji. Synthetic Route of C12H10O2 And the article was included in Supramolecular Chemistry in 2007. The article conveys some information:
It has been demonstrated that a chiral, insulated poly(p-phenylene ethynylene) (PPE) nano-wire can be created by a polymer wrapping method utilizing natural β-1,3-glucan polysaccharide schizophyllan (SPG). Spectroscopic and microscopic measurements have revealed that PPE adopts a rigid conformation and exists as one piece in the helical hollow constructed by two SPG chains. Moreover, the inherent helical structure of SPG can induce the chiral twisting of the insulated PPE backbone. It is believed that the present system is really applicable for designing novel chiral sensors based on PPE. In the experimental materials used by the author, we found 1,4-Diethynyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene(cas: 74029-40-6Synthetic Route of C12H10O2)
1,4-Diethynyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene(cas: 74029-40-6) belongs to ethers.Synthetic Route of C12H10O2Although ethers resist hydrolysis, they are cleaved by hydrobromic acid and hydroiodic acid. Hydrogen chloride cleaves ethers only slowly.
