D. Salvatierra et al., Enantiodifferentiation by complexation with beta-cyclodextrin: Experimental (NMR) and theoretical (MD, FEP) studies, TETRAHEDRON, 56(19), 2000, pp. 3035-3041
Diastereomeric complexes between beta-CyD and both enantiomers of mandelic
acid, hexahydromandelic acid, and 1-cyclohexylethylamine were studied by NM
R spectroscopy. Their inclusion complexes were studied by molecular dynamic
s (MD) calculations. Induced chemical shifts gave association constants of
about 10(2)-10(3) M-1. Computed geometries for the inclusion complexes are
in agreement with those deduced experimentally by NOE experiments. MD (free
energy perturbation) calculations correctly predict the most stable diaste
reomer when enantiomers are individually complexed with beta-CyD. (C) 2000
