A series of copper(II) complexes, with chiral bis(oxazoline) ligands disubstituted at the carbon atom linking the two oxazolines by Fre ´chet-type polyether dendrimers, have been designed and synthesized. These complexes were used as Lewis acid catalysts in enantioselective aldol reactions in aqueou

✦ Synopsis
Enantioselective recognition of amino acids has been studied with C 2 -symmetric chiral pyridine bis(oxazoline)-copper(II) complexes at physiological pH condition. UV-visible titration revealed strong binding of submillimolar dissociation constant between pyridine bis(oxazoline)-copper(II) complex and amino acids in aqueous solution. Moderate selectivity of up to 2:1 between D-and L-amino acids was achieved. The enantiomers were baseline resolved by capillary electrophoresis, using the bis(L-lysine)-copper(II) complex as a chiral selector.
