S. Boudouche et al., CHIRAL MACROCYCLES .1. SYNTHESIS AND ENANTIOSELECTIVE TRANSPORT OF CARBOXYLIC-ACIDS AS THEIR LI+ SALTS, Journal of inclusion phenomena and molecular recognition in chemistry, 16(1), 1993, pp. 69-80
A new series of tetrapyrazolic macrocycles with a functionalized sidea
rm has been prepared. Their capability to transport Li+ salts of carbo
xylic acids has been examined and is shown to be strongly dependent on
the functionality of the macrocycle sidearm. In the case of the Li+ (
D, L)-mandelate, chiral recognition has been observed.
