Abstract

Saluting the sergeant: Phg-BTA cooperatively self-assembles into helical aggregates and shows unprecedented racemization behavior in the presence of base. In thermodynamically controlled conditions, the addition of a small amount of chiral auxiliary to this mixture results in a deracemization reaction and a final enantiomeric excess of 32¿%. A theoretical model is presented to understand in detail the results obtained.
