Increased Structural Complexity Leads to Higher Activity:  Peptides as Efficient and Versatile Catalysts for Asymmetric Aldol Reactions

Peptides containing a secondary amine and a carboxylic acid in a specific orientation to each other are presented as highly efficient catalysts for asymmetric aldol reactions:  (1) their activity is considerably higher compared to that of proline, and (2) the enantioselectivity of the peptidic catal...

Zusammenfassung:Peptides containing a secondary amine and a carboxylic acid in a specific orientation to each other are presented as highly efficient catalysts for asymmetric aldol reactions:  (1) their activity is considerably higher compared to that of proline, and (2) the enantioselectivity of the peptidic catalysts can be changed from (R)- to (S)-selectivity by simple modifications of the secondary structure.
