Novel amylose ester derivatives were synthesized and their chiral recognition abilities as chiral stationary phases for highperformance liquid chromatography were evaluated. Compared with amylose benzoate derivatives, cinnamate derivatives showed a higher chiral recognition ability and some racemates could be efficiently resolved. The recognition abilities of these derivatives varied significan...

an efficient one-pot three-component procedure for the synthesis of new chiral spiro oxindolopyrrolidines/pyrrolizidines with highly regio- and diastereo-enantio, selective from 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides and chiral menthol-drived trans-cinnamic are described. the mechanism of the reaction is discussed on basis of the assignment of the absolute configuration of one of the cy...

Chiral pyrrolidines and pyrrolizidines with spirooxindole ring systems are the central skeletons for numerous alkaloids and pharmacologically important compounds. Gelesmine, pseudotabersonine, formosanine, isoformosanine, morroniside and mitraphylline are some of the alkaloids containing spirooxindole ring systems. Derivatives of spirooxindole find very wide biological applications as anti micr...

Chiral information transfer is crucial to design new functions like, for instance, sensing through chiroptical probes in which the input readout as a consequence of chiral recognition event. Herein, we report lanthanide quadruple-stranded helicates [Ln2L4]2− that show guest-to-host chirality transfer. As confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, thes...

The chiral recognition mechanisms responsible for the enantioselective binding on the alpha3beta4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (alpha3 beta4 nAChR) and human organic cation transporter 1 (hOCT1) have been reviewed. The results indicate that chiral recognition on the alpha3beta4 nAChR is a process involving initial tethering of dextromethorphan and levomethorphan at hydrophobic pockets withi...

Chiral pyridino18-crown-6 ligands interact with chiral primary organic ammonium salts by hydrogen bonding from the ammonium cation to the pyridino nitrogen and two alternate ring oxygen atoms. Enantiomeric recognition in these interactions are caused by the steric bulk of the substituents at chiral macrocycle ring positions. Recognition is best for the interaction of chiral pyridino-18-crown6 h...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a powerful tool for the elucidation of chemical structure and chiral recognition. In the last decade, the number of probes, media, and experiments to analyze chiral environments has rapidly increased. The evaluation of chiral molecules and systems has become a routine task in almost all NMR laboratories, allowing for the determination of molecular connectivit...
