Y. Dobashi et al., A NEW TWISTED DUAL HYDROGEN-BOND ACCEPTOR FEATURING AMIDINE FUNCTIONALITY FOR CHIRAL RECOGNITION - A HIGH-LEVEL OF ENANTIOSELECTION OF DIOLDERIVATIVES, Tetrahedron letters, 39(1-2), 1998, pp. 93-96
The C-2 amidine derivative (S,S)-1, as a twisted chiral dual acceptor
for hydrogen bonding, was designed and synthesized. Enantioselective b
inding between (S,S)-1 and a series of diol enantiomers was investigat
ed by NMR spectroscopy. High enantioselection above 1.0 kcal/mol was a
chieved in CDCl3. The association mode based on dual N ... HO interact
ions was confirmed by intermolecular NOEs. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science L
