5 Peptide-catalysed Cyanations Cyanhydrin Synthesis and Strecker Reactions 

In support of these results Inoue investigated asymmetric 

In the context of asymmetric cyanhydrin synthesis applying q cZo-peptide 50 as catalyst Danda and coworkers studied the positive influence of lowered viscosity of the reaction mixture on enantioselectivity and the asymmetric autocatalytic properties of the reaction system.During the following years other groups carried out further computational and mechanistic 

In contrast to the observations of Lipton, Kunz and coworkers published in 2005 their critical studies concerning q do-peptide 52 catalysed Strecker reactions and documented difficulties in reaching high levels of enantioselectivities, although the experimental protocol was followed exactly as described by Lipton and coworkers.
