Synthesis and characterisation of N-(3-dihydroxyborylphenyl)-5-mercaptopentanamide: a novel self-assembling vicinal diol receptor

Abstract

A novel self-assembling vicinal diol receptor, N-(3-dihydroxyborylphenyl)-5-mercaptopentanamide, has been synthesised via a three step procedure, characterised by NMR, mass spectoscopy and FTIR spectroscopy and shown to be functionally active by contact angle analysis, surface plasmon resonance and QCM.
