Neotame, an alkylated dipeptide consisting of L,L-stereochemistry, is a new high intensity sweetener being developed by the Nutrition and Consumer Products Sector of Monsanto. The three diastereoisomers of neotame, L,D; D,L; and D,D were synthesized and evaluated for sweetness by sensory testing. Only the L,L-isomer was found to be sweet. The three-dimensional structure of the L,L diastereoisomer determined from single-crystal x-ray analysis demonstrates that the compound exists in an "L shaped" conformation, previously proposed for the requirement of the sweetness ability by aspartyl-based dipeptide compounds. The confirmation of neotame in the solid state also demonstrates well-oriented hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions which likely account for the high sweetness intensity of this dipeptide compound.

We examined supramolecular gelation of propylene carbonate enantiomers with novel chiral aspartame lipids. Different gelation ability and stability were observed based on the combination of gelator and the solvent enantiomers. This work demonstrates that gelator–solvent chirality matching can determine self-assembled nanostructures and gelation efficiency.
