Abstract
The distinction of enantiomers based on residual anisotropic parameters obtained by alignment in chiral poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate (PBLG) is among the strongest in high-resolution NMR spectroscopy. However, large variations in enantiodifferentiation among different solutes are frequently observed. One hypothesis is that the formation of hydrogen bonds between solute and PBLG is important for the distinction of enantiomers. With a small set of three almost spherical enantiomeric pairs, for which 1DCH residual dipolar couplings are measured, we address this issue in a systematic way: borneol contains a single functional group that can act as a hydrogen bond donor, camphor has a single group that may act as a hydrogen bond acceptor, and quinuclidinol can act as both hydrogen bond donor and acceptor. The results are unambiguous: although camphor shows low enantiodifferentiation with PBLG and alignment that can be predicted well by the purely steric TRAMITE approach, the distinction of enantiomers for the other enantiomeric pairs is significantly higher with alignment properties that must involve a specific interaction in addition to steric alignment.

Abstract
The development of chiral alignment media for measuring anisotropic NMR parameters provides an opportunity to determine the absolute configuration of chiral molecules without the need for derivatization. However, chiral alignment media with a high and robust enantiodiscriminating property for a wide range of chiral molecules are still scarce. In this study, we synthesized cholesterol-end-functionalized helical polyisocyanides from a chiral monomer using a cholesterol-based alkyne-Pd(II) initiator. These stereoregular polyisocyanides form stable and weak anisotropic lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) in dichloromethane systems, exhibiting highly optical activities in both single left- and right-handed helices. The preparation process of the media was straightforward, and the aligning property of the LLCs could be controlled by adjusting the concentration and temperature. Using the chiral polyisocyanides, we extracted the residual dipolar coupling for an enantiomeric pair of isopinocampheol (IPC), as well as a number of pharmaceutical molecules, demonstrating excellent enantiodiscriminating properties for a broad range of chiral compounds.

Abstract
Anisotropic NMR spectroscopy, revealing residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) and residual chemical shift anisotropies (RCSAs) has emerged as a powerful tool to determine the configurations of synthetic and complex natural compounds. The deduction of the absolute in addition to the relative configuration is one of the primary goals in the field. Therefore, the investigation of the enantiodiscriminating capabilities of chiral alignment media becomes essential. While RDCs and RCSAs are now used for the determination of the relative configuration routinely, RCSAs have not been measured in chiral alignment media such as chiral liquid crystals. Herein, we present this application by measuring RCSAs for chiral analytes such as indanol and isopinocampheol in the lyotropic liquid crystalline phase of an L-valine derived helically chiral polyacetylenes. We have also demonstrated that a single 1D 13 C-{1 H} NMR spectrum suffices to get the RCSAs circumventing the necessity to acquire two spectra at two alignment conditions.

Abstract
We explore and report for the first time the use of 1 H saturation transfer difference NMR experiments (STD-NMR) in weakly aligning chiral anisotropic media to identify the hydrogen sites of enantiomers of small chiral molecules interacting with the side-chain of poly-γ-benzyl-l-glutamate (PBLG), a helically chiral polypeptide polymer. The first experimental results obtained on three model mono-stereogenic compounds outcomes are highly promising and demonstrate the possibility to track down possible differences of spatial position of enantiomers at the vicinity of the polymer side-chain. Anisotropic STD experiments appear to be well suited for rapid screening of chiral analytes that bind favorably to orienting polymeric systems, while providing new insights into the mechanism of enantio-discrimination without resorting to the time-consuming determination of molecular order parameters.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy in anisotropic media has emerged as a powerful technique for the structural elucidation of organic molecules. Its application requires weak alignment of analytes by means of suitable alignment media. Although a number of alignment media, that are compatible with organic solvents, have been introduced in the last 20 years, acquiring a number of independent, non-linearly related sets of anisotropic NMR data from the same organic solvent system remains a formidable challenge, which is however crucial for the alignment simulations and deriving dynamic and structural information of organic molecules unambiguously. Herein, we introduce a programmable strategy to construct several distinct peptide-based alignment media by adjusting the amino acid sequence, which allows us to measure independent sets of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) in a highly efficient and accurate manner. This study opens a new avenue for de novo structure determination of organic compounds without requiring prior structural information. We report a programmable strategy to construct multi-alignment media via peptide self-assembly for the measurement of independent sets of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs).![]()

Abstract
The measurement of anisotropic residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) parameters for the structure elucidation of organic molecules relies on suitable alignment media. Employment of self-assembled liquid crystalline systems to create anisotropic alignment can be an effective way to realize aligned samples and acquire RDCs. This Mini-review highlights the recent advances on amino acid-based helical polymers and supramolecular oligomers forming rigid, rod-like structures that aggregate into ordered liquid crystalline phases, including amino acid-based helical polyisocyanides, polyacetylenes, polypeptides, and oligopeptides assembled alignment media. The methodology for the determination of anisotropic liquid crystals was briefly discussed, and a summary of recent research progress in the enantiodifferentiation of helical polymers aligned media was followed. In addition, the self-assembled mechanism of oligopeptides and their RDCs structural analysis were also described. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) phases of amino acid derived polyarylisocyanides were employed as chiral alignment media for the measurement of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) of small chiral organic molecules. Anisotropic samples in CDCl3 displayed quadrupolar splittings of the deuterium signal in the range of several hundreds of Hertz. The LLC phases showed excellent orienting properties for a broad range of analytes bearing various functional groups. The precise extraction of RDCs in the range of up to ±40 Hertz from F2-coupled HSQC spectra was possible. Additionally, the chiral environment offers the opportunity for diastereomorphous interactions with the enantiomers of chiral analytes leading to two different sets of RDCs. This differential order effect was particularly pronounced with ketones and alcohols.

Abstract
The application of anisotropic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) parameters for the correct structural assignment of small molecules requires the use of partially ordered media. Previously we demonstrated that the use of P3D simulations using poly(γ -benzyl-L-glutamate) (PBLG) as an alignment medium allows for the determination of the correct diastereomer from extremely sparse NMR data. Through the analysis of the structural characteristics of small molecules in different alignment media, here we show that when steric or electrostatic factors dominate the alignment, P3D-PBLG retains its diastereomer discrimination power. We also demonstrate that P3D simulations can define the different conformations of a flexible small molecule from sparse NMR data.
