Abstract

Diastereoselectivity, 5(4H)-oxazolone-mediated, peptide, couplings, prebiotic, aqueous solution
A stereochemical study of a potentially prebiotic peptide-forming reaction was carried out as the first part of a systems chemistry investigation of potential paths for symmetry breaking. Substantial diastereomeric excesses result from a fast epimerization of the 5(4H)-oxazolone intermediate in aqueous solution.
