Remarkable increase in basicity associated with supramolecular gelation

Abstract

L-Proline derivatives which are able to form supramolecular gels show an amazing basicity increase in the aggregated (gel) state as compared to solution. As a result they behave as enantioselective catalysts for the aldol reaction in solution but produce a base-catalyzed aldol racemisation in the gel state.
