Abstract: | A series of calixarene carboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized for the extraction of amino acids. A calix6]arene carboxylic acid derivative showed the highest extractability to the target tryptophan ester. The main driving forcefor the complexation was the interaction between the ammonium cation of the aminoacid and the oxygen atoms of the host molecule. Stripping of amino acids was alsoaccomplished by contacting the organic solution with a fresh acidic solution. Basedon slope and Job method analyses, it was confirmed that the calix6]arene formsa 1 : 1 complex with the amino acid ester. The structure of the complex between the calix6]arene and the amino acid was investigated by 1H-NMR and CD spectra. The calix6]arene includes a guest molecule in the cavity, and the inclusion induces the asymmetrization of the host molecule. This host compound functions as a novel recognition tool for amino acids. |
