<scp>l</scp>-Amino acid derived pyridinium-based chiral compounds and their efficacy in chiral recognition of lactate

Abstract

A series of<sc>l</sc>-amino acid derived pyridinium-based chiral compounds have been designed and synthesized. Among them, some<sc>l</sc>-valine derivatives show enantioselective recognition of<sc>d</sc>-lactate in fluorescence.
