New terpenoid hosts for chiral recognition: crystal structure and molecular modelling study of an inclusion complex with (S)-(+)-phenyloxirane
Abstract
A new typo of optically active inclusion host derived from natural camphor is described, enabling useful enantiomer separation of chiral compounds via cocrystallization; the structural rationale of an inclusion complex with (S)-(+)-phenyloxirane based on X-ray determination and a molecular modelling study is reported.
