Thiol derivatized (6S,7R,10R)-4-amino-2,2,7-trimethyl-10-isopropyl-1-azaspi
ro[5.5]undecane-1-yloxyl was synthesized to modify the surface of a gold el
ectrode with its self-assembled monolayer. This modified electrode showed s
ymmetrical reversible redox wave at +0.62 V vs. Ag/AgCl, which originates f
rom the electron transfer between the self-assembled monolayer and electrod
e. The modified electrode exhibited an enantioselective catalytic oxidation
for chiral secondary alcohols; (S)-(-)-1-phenylethanol was oxidized into t
he ketone more efficiently than (R)-(+)-1-phenylethanol.
