Two novel C2-symmetrical chiral tetraamide compounds derived from (S)-isoleucine were synthesised and their enantiomeric recognition abilities towards enantiomers of some amino acid esters and 1-arylethylamins were examined by UV-titration method. These receptor compounds exhibited strong complexation (with Ka up to 5787.23 M-1) and very good enantioselectivity (up to KaS/KaR= 13.98).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
