Towards racemizable chiral organogelators
نویسندگان
چکیده
A chiral organogelator has been synthesized that can be racemized and self-assembled in apolar solvents whilst at higher concentrations organogels are formed. Field emission scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed the formation of bundle fibrils that are able to gelate the solvent. ¹H NMR studies showed hydrogen-bond interactions between the peptide head groups of neighbouring organogelator molecules. The enantiomerically pure organogelator can be racemized by the base DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene) as was evident from chiral high-performance liquid chromatography analysis.

Urea vs. carbamate groups: a comparative study in a chiral C2 symmetric organogelator.
The effect of the replacement of molecular moieties (carbamates vs. urea) that drive self-assembly for two organogelators with an identical C(2) symmetric molecular structure is described. The main properties of the gels obtained from the urea-based organogelators are also discussed. The proposed organogelators are chiral molecules and are able to express chirality also at the supramolecular le...

The purpose of this study is to compare the gelling behavior of two molecules: a chiral compound and its achiral counterpart. The chiral partner is characterized by a rigid, chiral pyrrolidine nucleus, while the achiral one contains a flexible diethanolamine moiety. The chiral compound is an already known good organogelator, but also the achiral compound shows remarkable gelling properties. Ver...
متن کاملTotal synthesis of feglymycin based on a linear/convergent hybrid approach using micro-flow amide bond formation
Feglymycin is a naturally occurring, anti-HIV and antimicrobial 13-mer peptide that includes highly racemizable 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycines (Dpgs). Here we describe the total synthesis of feglymycin based on a linear/convergent hybrid approach. Our originally developed micro-flow amide bond formation enabled highly racemizable peptide chain elongation based on a linear approach that was previou...
