Abstract: In order to synthesize chiral bisacylphosphine oxide photoinitiator and investigate its excess one-handed helicity induction ability, (-)-bis(menthylformyl)phenylphosphine oxide was synthesized from P,P-dichlorophenylphosphine and (-)-menthylformic acid. The structure of the compound was confirmed by NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The results showed that (-)-BMPPO had helix-sense-selective ability in the initiating the radical photopolymerization of bulky monomer 1-phenyldibenzosuberyl methacrylate(PDBSMA). Highly isotactic, optically active polymers having a helical conformation with one-handed helicity were obtained. Lower feed ratio of the monomer to initiator and higher polymerization temperature were favorable to the increase of the helix-sense-selectivity. The photopolymerization of PDBSMA in chiral menthol initiated by (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)diphenylphosphine oxide (TPO) was also helix-sense-selective, but the helix-sense-selectivity was less.

Key words: (-)-Bis(menthylformyl)phenylphosphine oxide, Helix-sense-selective, Radical photopolymerization
