키랄 보조제가 붙어있는 3-acyl-4(S)-isopropyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione[4(S)-AITT]을 라세미 아민과 가아민 분해반응을 시켰을때 광학활성을 갖는 아미드(S-excess)와 아민(R-excess)이 얻어지는 입체 선택적인 반응이 관찰되었다. 이와같은 입체 선택적인 반응은 macrocyclic diamide, macrocylic sperimidine alkaloid, peptide 합성에 이용될 수 있다. 가아민 분해반응의 속도는 아민의 입체적인 영향을 많이 받았고 반응이 종료점은 노락색의 소실로 쉽게 관찰되었다. 4(S)-AITT는 4(S)-isopropyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione과 carboxylic acid로부터 얻었다.

A chiral recognition was observed in aminolysis of 3-acyl-4(S)-isopropyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione by racemic amine to give an optically active amide (S-excess) and amine (R-excess). This procedure can be applied to synthesis of macrocyclic diamide macrocyclic spermidine alkaloid, and peptide. The rate of this aminolysis is remarkably affected by steric surrounding; completion of reaction can be easily judged by the disappearance of the original yellow color of 4(S)-AITT. These features of the aminolysis suggested a potential recognition racemic amines by a chiral 4 (S)-AITT derivative. Thus 4 (S)-AITT was synthesized from 4 (S)-isopropyl-1, 3-thiazolidine-2-thione and carboxylic acids.
