“…[6,7] The chiral self-discrimination phenomenon was first observed by Uskokovic and coworkers in dihydroquinine in 1969. [8] Since then, self-discrimination has been found in a variety of chiral compounds, such as phosphorus acid derivatives, [9 -12] 2-substituted-1,2-glycols, [13] phosphonate of alcohols, [14] amino acid derivatives, [15] diols, [16] carboxamides, [17] 2-anilino-2-oxo-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinanes, [18] 3-mercaptoderivatives of 2-bromopropanoic acid, [19] and so on. It is generally recognized that inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding (HB) interaction plays an important role in self-recognition.…”
