Journal ArticleDOI
Direct asymmetric aldol reaction in aqueous media using polymer-supported peptide
TL;DR: PEG-PS resin-supported tripeptide/zinc chloride catalyst system has been developed for use in the direct asymmetric aldol reaction of acetone with aldehydes in aqueous media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient Asymmetric α-Oxyamination of Aldehydes by Resin-Supported Peptide Catalyst in Aqueous Media
TL;DR: The resin-supported peptide catalyst having the terminal five-residue Pro-d-Pro-Aib- Trp-Trp combined with polyleucine successfully catalyzed the asymmetric alpha-oxyamination of aldehydes in aqueous media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organocatalytic Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation in Aqueous Media Using Resin-Supported Peptide Having a Polyleucine Tether
TL;DR: A resin-supported N-terminal prolyl peptide having a beta-turn motif and hydrophobic polyleucine chain effectively catalyzed the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation under aqueous conditions.

Friedel–Crafts-type alkylation in aqueous media using resin-supported peptide catalyst having polyleucine
TL;DR: In this paper, the asymmetric Friedel-Crafts-type alkylation in aqueous media was realized by the resin-supported N-terminal prolyl peptide catalyst having a polyleucine tether.
