Two cyclo-dipeptides based on His and the unnatural (alpha Me)Phe have been examined as catalysts in the enantioselective addition of hydrogen cyanide to benzaldehyde and p-methoxy-benzaldehyde. The synthesis, catalytic activity and NMR study towards the mechanism of this reaction are presented. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
