K. Matsumoto et al., A structural model of the ferrichrome type siderophore: chiral preference induced by intramolecular hydrogen bonding networks in ferric trihydroxamate, CHEM COMMUN, (11), 2001, pp. 978-979
Tris{2-[(N-acetyl-N-hydroxy)-D-alanylamino]ethyl}amine (R-TAAE) has been sy
nthesized as a chiral trihydroxamate artificial siderophore with hydrogen b
onding networks, whose crystal structure of the iron(iii) complex revealed
Lambda configuration induced by interstrand hydrogen bonding networks and s
teric repulsion by optically active amino acid residues.
