Y. Murakami et al., ENANTIOSELECTIVE ALDOLATION MEDIATED BY FUNCTIONALIZED BILAYER-MEMBRANES AS ARTIFICIAL VITAMIN-B(6)-DEPENDENT ENZYMES, Chemistry Letters, (1), 1994, pp. 55-58
Supramolecular bilayer assemblies, each composed of a peptide lipid ha
ving an (S)-alanine residue, an additional one having (S)-binaphthol a
nd (S)-alanine moieties, a hydrophobic pyridoxal derivative, and coppe
r(II) ions, mediated the aldolation of glycine with benzaldehyde to af
ford beta-phenylserine under mild reaction conditions, exhibiting mark
ed enantioselectivity.
