We report the development of a method to parameterize and predict the performance of structurally flexible β-turn-containing peptide catalysts, using the atroposelective bromination of 3-arylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones as a case study. The multivariate correlations obtained for tetrapeptides of two β-turn types, type I' pre-helical and type II' β-hairpin, indicate that although one conformer may be associated with a more dominant contribution to the observed enantioselectivity, it is possible that multiple conformers contribute to a complex transition state ensemble.
我们报告了一种方法的开发,用于参数化和预测结构灵活的β-转角肽催化剂的性能,以 3-芳基喹唑啉-4(3H)-酮的对映选择性溴化为案例研究。对于两种β-转角类型的四肽(I'型预螺旋和 II'型β-发夹)获得的多元相关表明,尽管一种构象可能与观察到的对映选择性的更主要贡献相关,但可能有多种构象对复杂的过渡态系综有贡献。
