Selective transport of amino acid esters through a chloroform liquid membrane by a calix[6]arene-based ester carrier
Abstract
A liquid membrane containing the ethoxycarbonylmethyl derivative 1 of p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene exhibited pronounced transport selectivity towards ethyl esters of both phenylalanine and tryptophan over glycine, alanine and 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
