Abstract

Stereospecific recognition of substrate molecules for certain chiral carboxylic acids is achieved by a noncovalent receptor system based on acid-base interactions of amino groups in the host system with the carboxylic acids. Enantioselectivity in the binding process is caused by secondary interactions with a chiral platform that preorganizes the amino functionalities (see scheme).
