Cavity Effects on the Enantioselectivity of Chiral Amido[4]resorcinarene Stereoisomers

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The dramatic effects of the size and hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties of cavities on the intrinsic reaction kinetics and dynamics is shown by the gas-phase reaction of (R)-(−)-2-butylamine and complexes of stereoisomeric amido[4]resorcinarene hosts with aromatic amino acids. The graph shows the kinetic plots of the base-induced loss of L-Phe (green), L-Tyr (red), and L-dopa (blue).
