“NMR Spectroscopy Reveals Preference of Lipophilic Oligopeptide Catalyst for (R,R)-Enantiomer of trans-Cyclohexane-1,2-Diol in Kinetic Resolution”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38117177

This study uses NMR spectroscopy to quantify the intermolecular interactions of a lipophilic oligopeptide catalyst with both enantiomers of trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol, finding a 3 kJ mol-1 preference for the (R,R)-enantiomer, consistent with observed selectivities in the kinetic resolution of trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol.
