Y. Dobashi et al., CHIRAL RECOGNITION OF 1,1'-BI-2-NAPHTHOL ENANTIOMERS BY TWISTED AMIDINE DERIVATIVES - RATIONAL DESIGN OF A HIGHLY ENANTIOSELECTIVE RECEPTOR, Tetrahedron letters, 39(19), 1998, pp. 2985-2988
Clarification of the molecular structures of diastereomeric complexes
relevant to the enantioselective dual N ... HO bonding between the chi
ral C-2 amidine derivative (S,S)-1 and 1,1'-bi-2 naphthol 2 in CDCl3 a
fforded the structural factor determining the sense of observed enanti
oselection. This insight into chiral recognition was successfully appl
ied to the design of a new twisted dual hydrogen bond acceptor (S,S)-3
that exhibited a higher level of enantioselectivity toward 2. (C) 199
