Abstract:Seven novel proline and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (THIQA) based diamides were synthesized successfully by simple amidation reactions and characterized by their spectral data. Their catalytic activities in asymmetric aldol reaction were performed by the reactions of aliphatic ketones and various aromatic aldehydes. Especially, (S)-N-((S)-1-(morpholinoamino)-1-oxo-3-phenylpropan-2-yl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (9e) showed good catalytic activities in water at room temperature in the presenc… Show more
“…In 2021-2022, Yolacan and colleagues reported that chiral Pro-Phe-derived dipeptide catalysts with an aromatic acid as the co-catalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity in water than in other solvents when catalyzing the asymmetric aldol reactions of aliphatic ketones with aromatic aldehydes (Scheme 2a). 8,9 In 2021, Makatini and coworkers reported a solid-phase peptide-promoted aldol reaction between ketones and aldehydes (Scheme 2b). 10 Addition of a small amount of water was beneficial for yield and stereoselectivity.…”

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.
