Popis: A series of water-soluble sulfonated calix[4]resorcinarenes with L-proline, cis-4-hydroxy-d- and -L-proline, trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline and trans-3-hydroxy-L-proline are evaluated as chiral NMR solvating agents. The changes in chemical shifts and enantiomeric discrimination in the 1H NMR spectra of a variety of phenyl- and pyridyl-containing compounds are reported. Substrates associate by insertion of the phenyl or pyridyl ring into the cavity of the calix[4]resorcinarene. Series of compounds with methylbenzylamine and benzyl alcohol units are among those examined. For many compounds, the calix[4]resorcinarenes with the hydroxyproline groups are more effective chiral NMR solvating agents than the corresponding proline derivative. The trans-4- and trans-3-hydroxy-L-proline derivatives are especially effective as chiral NMR solvating agents. Enantiomeric discrimination in the 1H NMR spectra is often large enough to facilitate the analysis of enantiomeric purity.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)
