Outline of Final Research Achievements

Polymerization in an achiral polymerization system that does not contain any chiral source giving a one-handed helical polymer(spontaneousHSSP)was investigated.As the number of trials increase,the ratio of the cumulative number of polymerizations giving the right-handed and the left-handed polymers were closer to1.We successfully prepared a chiral microcrystalline monomer which does not contain any chiral compound by following two step method:1)Crystallization of the monomer in the presence of a chiral amine;2)Complete removal of the chiral amine under a high vacuum condition.The obtained microcrystalline monomer gave a one-handed helical polymer by using an achiral catalyst system.Therefore,it was suggested that crystal structure with asymmetric alignment accidentally induced may be the cause of spontaneous HSSP.
Further,the helix-sense-selective degradation(HSSD)of racemic helical polymer by circularly polarized irradiation,was found for the first time to proceed in a solution state.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

自然界のアミノ酸や糖などの生体分子は一方のエナンチオマーのみからなる(ホモキラリティー)が、それがなぜなのか、またどのようにしてキラリティの偏りが生じたのかについては、大変興味深く多くの研究がなされているにもかかわらずいまだに謎である。本研究は、自然界のホモキラリティーの起源の新しいモデルとしての学術的意義を有する。また、本研究により調製できる光学活性高分子膜は光学分割膜として利用可能であり、また、本研究から派生した成果である円偏光を用いるアルコールの新規光学分割法は、光学活性分子の新たな入手法として社会的にも有用である。
