The resin-supported peptide catalyst having the terminal five-residue Pro-d-Pro-Aib-Trp-Trp combined with polyleucine successfully catalyzed the asymmetric alpha-oxyamination of aldehydes in aqueous media. The secondary structure and the chirality sense of the hydrophobic polyleucine chain significantly affected both reactivity and enantioselectivity.
