A novel optically active polymer consisting of riboflavin units as the main chain (poly-1) was prepared from naturally occurring riboflavin (vitamin B-2) in three steps. The riboflavin residues of poly-1 were converted to 5-ethyl-riboflavinium cations (giving poly-2), which could be reversibly transformed into the corresponding 4a-hydroxyriboflavins (giving poly-2OH) through hydroxylation/dehydroxylation reactions. This reversible structural change was accompanied by a visible color change along with significant changes in the absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) and CD spectra of poly-2 revealed a supramolecularly twisted helical structure with excess one-handedness through face-to-face stacking of the intermolecular riboflavinium units, as evidenced by the apparent NOE correlations between the interstrand riboflavin units and intense Cotton effects induced in the flavinium chromophore regions. The hydroxylation of poly-2 at the 4a-position proceeded in a diastereoselective fashion via chirality transfer from the induced supramolecular helical chirality assisted by the ribityl pendants, resulting in a 83:17 diastereomeric mixture of poly-2OH. The diastereoselectivity of poly-2 was remarkably higher than that of the corresponding monomeric model (64.5:35.5), indicating amplification of the chirality resulting from the supramolecular chirality induced in the stacked poly-2 backbones. The optically active poly-2 efficiently catalyzed the asymmetric organocatalytic oxidation of sulfides with hydrogen peroxide, yielding optically active sulfoxides with up to 60% enantiomeric excess (ee), whose enantioselectivity was higher than that catalyzed by the monomeric counterpart (30% ee). In addition, upon exposure to primary and secondary amines, poly-2 exhibited unique high-speed vapochromic behavior arising from the formation of 4a-amine adducts in the film.
