Chiral Water-Soluble Molecular Capsules With Amphiphilic Interiors
We present the synthesis of new chiral water-soluble dimeric capsules by the multicomponent Mannich reaction between charged amino acids (glutamic acid or arginine), resorcinarene, and formaldehyde and by subsequent self-assembly.The zwitterionic character of the backbones enables electrostatic interactions between arms and induces self-assembly of
