Bifurcated dipeptide schiff bases as ligands for enantioselective catalysis:micro-metalloenzymes

摘要

Enantioselective catalysis mediated by transition metals complexed to enantiomerically pure ligands has become an important feature in organic synthesis.While numerous ligands have been designed for this purpose,and many have used amino acids as a source of chirality,only a very few (c.f.Belokon[1]) have used amino acids or peptides directly for this purpose.
