Asymmetric Sulfoxidation by a Tyrosinase Biomimetic Dicopper Complex with a Benzimidazolyl Derivative of L-Phenylalanine

A challenge in mimicking tyrosinase activity using model compounds is to reproduce its enantioselectivity. Good enantioselection requires rigidity and a chiral center close to the active site. In this study, the synthesis of a new chiral copper complex, [Cu<sub>2</sub>(mXPhI)]<sup>...
