AI Article Synopsis
- The QCM-D analysis shows how a specific reaction (epoxidation of chalcone) is catalyzed by a molecule called hexal-Leucine (PLL).
- The evidence suggests that a crucial step involves the formation of a complex between PLL and a hydroperoxide.
- This work provides new insights into the mechanism of the reaction, proposing a different explanation for why this catalytic pathway is effective.
Article Abstract
Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) analysis of the hexa-l-Leucine (PLL)-catalyzed epoxidation of chalcone gives in-situ experimental evidences which demonstrate that the reaction proceeds mainly via the formation of a PLL-bound hydroperoxide complex followed by the reversible addition of chalcone. The observations offer an alternative rationalization for the viability of the preferred catalytic pathway.
