The enantioselective extraction of 4-nitro-phenylalanine (Nphy) was studied with metal-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (BINAP) complexes as the chiral selector. The complex with palladium (BINAP-Pd) exhibits the highest selectivity out of the selectors studied, which is solubilised in the organic phase and preferentially extracts d-Nphy from the aqueous phase. Efficiency of extraction depends, often substantially, on a number of process variables, including types of organic solvents and metal precursors, concentration of ligand, pH, and temperature. A reactive extraction model was established to interpret the experimental data. The equilibrium formation constants and other important parameters required by the model were determined experimentally. The equilibrium formation constants were 6.73 and 1.93 for d-Nphy and l-Nphy. By way of modelling and experiment, an optimal extraction condition with pH of 7 and BINAP-Pd concentration of 1 mmol L-1 was obtained with enantioselectivity (α) of 3.37, which was close to the maximum of 3.48, and a performance factor (pf) of 0.195. The model was verified experimentally with excellent results.

Finding chiral selector with high stereoselectivity to a variety of amino acid enantiomers remains a challenge and warrants further research. In this work, Taniaphos, a chiral ligand with rotatable spatial configuration, was employed as a chiral extractant to enantioseparate various amino acid enantiomers. Phenylalanine (Phe), homophenylalanine (Hphe), 4-nitrophenylalanine (Nphe), and 3-chloro-phenylglycine (Cpheg) were used as substrates to evaluate the extraction efficiency. The results revealed that Taniaphos-Cu exhibited good abilities to enantioseparate Phe, Hphe, Nphe, and Cpheg with the highest separation factors (α) of 3.13, 2.10, 2.32, and 2.14, respectively. Taniaphos-Cu is more conducive to combine with D-amino acid in extraction. The influences of pH, Taniaphos-Cu, and concentration and extraction temperature on extraction were comprehensively evaluated. The highest performance factors (pf) for Phe, Hphe, Nphe, and Cpheg at optimal extraction conditions were 0.08892, 0.1250, 0.09621, and 0.08021, respectively. The recognition mechanism between Taniaphos-Cu and amino acid enantiomers was discussed. The coordination interaction between Taniaphos-Cu and -COO?, π-π interaction between Taniaphos-Cu and amino acid enantiomers are important acting forces in chiral extraction. The steric-hindrance between -NH2 and -OH lead to Taniaphos-Cu-D-Phe is more stable than Taniaphos-Cu-L-Phe. This work provided a chiral extractant that has good abilities to enantioseparate various amino acid enantiomers.

Aromatic amino acid, specifically phenylalanine (Phe), is one of the most studied building blocks in peptide synthesis due to its importance in biology. It is reported in the literature that Phe-containing peptides have a high tendency to form different self-assembled materials due to efficient aromatic-aromatic interactions. In this article, we have tuned the supramolecular interactions of phenylalanine by making it electron-deficient upon introduction of the nitro group in the ring. The presence of the nitro group has a profound influence on the self-assembly process. It has been observed that 4-nitrophenylalanine (4NP) is a highly efficient gelator compared with the native phenylalanine in DMSO solvent in terms of minimum gelation concentration and it forms hydrogen bonding mediated crystals in water. The change of self-assembling patterns of 4NP in these solvents was studied using X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectroscopy, FE-SEM and other techniques. With the help of different experimental data and density functional theory (DFT), we have simulated the theoretical structure of 4NP in DMSO. The theoretical structure of 4NP in DMSO is different compared with that of crystals in water. We then studied the self-assembly process of 4NP in the mixed solvent of DMSO (polar aprotic) and water (polar protic). Different competitive non-covalent interactions of solvents as well as the ratio of the solvent mixture guide the final self-assembly state of 4NP. This journal is
