Application

L-DTT [(2R,3R)-1,4-dimercapto-2,3-butanediol; L-dithiothreitol], a chiral bidentate dithiol with two stereogenic centers, may be used in chiroptical response research. L-DDT is proposed as a stereoselective reducing agent for disulfide bridges in complex molecules.

We here present a study of cross-linking chemistry of optically inactive monothiol-protected gold clusters by chiral bidentate dithiol with two stereogenic centers, (2R,3R)-1,4-dimercapto-2,3-butanediol (L-dithiothreitol; L-DTT), and explore the impacts of the cross-linking on their chiroptical responses. The pristine protective ligand
