Kim, Dong H.,Chung, Suhman
, p. 3769 - 3776 (1999)
Both enantiomers of 2-benzyl-3-formylpropanoic acid were synthesized in five steps starting with hydrocinnamic acid and each enantiomer assayed for inhibitory activity against carboxypeptidase A to find that the (R)-form is 674-fold more potent than its e
