“…During our study we have obtained increased ee using several oxide additives (γ‐Al 2 O 3 , Mg−Al LDH, Mont, Ben H). Thus, the adsorption mode of l ‐Pro on the surface may be assumed to be similar with that suggested in previous studies employing l ‐Pro‐γ‐Al 2 O 3 or l ‐Pro‐Mg−Al LDH catalysts in asymmetric aldol or Michael additions, respectively . However, on cation‐exchanger layered material, such as Lap RD, the formation of the corresponding salt‐like adsorbed amino acid is also possible by interaction with the charge compensating cation, as shown in Scheme (A).…”
