Abstract

Abstract A porous, homochiral titanium-phosphonate material based on a tripodal peptide scaffold was used as a heterogeneous reaction medium for the enantioselective hydration (> 99%) of styrene oxide. This titanium-phosphonate material, which was shown to contain confined chiral spaces, was prepared by polymerization of L-leucine onto a tris (2- aminoethyl) amine initiator, followed by capping with phosphonate groups and completed ...
