A thermodynamic and (1)H NMR study of proton complex formation in aqueous solution of some L-histidine-containing cyclic L-dipeptides has been carried out.The enthalpic and entropic changes associated with protonation of the cyclodipeptides, obtained by potentiometric and calorimetric measurements, together with the (1)H NMR data and NOESY experiments, enable the role played by non-covalent interactions in proton complex formation to be assessed.In addition, a comparison with c(Gly-His) permits the influence of side-chain residues on the conformation of protonated species to be observed.

Chiral p-nitrophenyl esters derived from the amino acid phenylalanine are cleaved by histidine-containing dipeptides at a micellar interface.High enantioselectivities (up to kL/kD = 30.4 at 0 deg C) are observed.Both the substrates and the catalysts contain an alternating sequence of hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups.Due to the need for hydration of the hydrophilic groups, the hydrophobic groups cannot dissolve completely into the micellar hydrocarbon phase.The kinetic data suggest that the micellar interface is capable of discriminating between transition states that have different hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.One of the diastereomeric transition states is characterized by a hydrogen bond between the amide CO group of the ester and an NH group of the histidine-containing dipeptide.Upon formation of this hydrogen bond these polar CO and NH groups lose their hydrophilicity which allows the transfer of the adjacent apolar groups to the micellar hydrocarbon phase.The other diastereomeric transition state cannot form this hydrogen bond and the hydrophobic groups remain hydrated.Consequently, the latter transition state is of higher energy.The kinetic data reveal that it is important to prevent steric hinderance between the reactants in order to allow the unhindered formation of the hydrogen bond.

cyclo (cyclo, 1) catalyzes the addition of hydrogen cyanide to benzaldehyde in toluene at -20 deg C to afford (R)-mandelonitrile with enantiomeric excess of 97 percent in high yield. cyclo gives (S)-mandelonitrile. cyclo (1) exhibits a broad substrate specificity, and a variety of aldehydes (3a-r) such as m-methoxybenzaldehyde (3c), 6-methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (3k), and isobutyraldehyde (3o) similarly afforded the corresponding cyanohydrins with high enantiopurities (97 percent ee for 3c, 93 percent ee for 3k, 71 percent ee for 3o). (R)-Mandelonitrile thus obtained was successfully converted to various chiral synthons such as mandelic acid (7), methyl mandelate (8), and 2-amino-1-phenylethanol (9) without any racemization.

Asymmetric addition of hydrogen cyanide to various aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of cyclo-((S)-leucyl-(S)-histidyl) affords the corresponding cyanohydrins in moderate to good optical yields.The reaction of benzaldehyde with hydrogen cyanide gives (S)-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetonitrile (85percent, 55percent ee) whose stereochemistry is found to be opposite to our previous result using cyclo-((S)-phenylalanyl-(S)-histidyl).
