, p. 4201 - 4204 (2001)
A rapid and reliable test for the determination of hydrolase activity and enantioselectivity comprises the conversion of acetic acid released from acetates to NADH by using a commercially available enzymatic test-kit (see scheme). The NAHDH is spectrophotometrically quantified in a microtiter plate format.

Metal-organic cages (MOCs) as a new type of porous material with well-defined cavities were extensively pursued because of their relative ease of synthesis and their potential applications in host-guest chemistry, molecular recognition, separation, catalysis, gas storage, and drug delivery. Here, we first reported that a homochiral MOC [Zn3L2] is explored to fabricate [Zn3L2] coated capillary column for high-resolution gas chromatographic separation of a wide range of analytes, including n-alkanes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and positional isomers, especially for racemates. Various kinds of racemates such as alcohols, diols, epoxides, ethers, halohydrocarbons, and esters were separated with good enantioselectivity and reproducibility on the [Zn3L2] coated capillary column. The fabricated [Zn3L2] coated capillary column exhibited significant chiral recognition complementary to that of a commercial β-DEX 120 column and our recently reported homochiral porous organic cage CC3-R coated column. The results show that the homochiral MOCs will be very attractive as a new type of chiral selector in separation science.

The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of functionalized ketones with (β-amino alcohol)(arene)RuII catalysts using 2-propanol as the hydrogen source has been studied. The structure of the catalyst has been systematically screened using a wide variety of [(η6-arene)RuCl2]2 complexes and β-amino alcohols R1CH(OH)CHR2NHR3, some of which were specifically designed for optimized performance, e.g. (1S,2R)-N-(4-biphenylmethyl)norephedrine (9ο). The efficiencies of the catalytic combinations have been evaluated in the reduction of β-oxo esters and ketones bearing heteroatoms at the α-position. The catalyst precursor [{η6-p-cymene}{η2-N,O-(9ο)}RuCl] (35), the 16-electron true catalyst [{η6-p-cymene}{η2-N,O-(9ο1-) }Ru] (36), and the hydride [{η6-p-cymene}{η2-N,O-(9ο)}RuH] (37) involved in the reduction process have been isolated, characterized by NMR and ESI-MS, as well as by X-ray crystallography in the case of 35, and their reactivities have been investigated. The results reveal two general trends regarding this catalytic process: (1) the apparent reaction rate and the enantioselectivity are largely controlled by the nature of the amine functionality of the chiral ligand and the arene ring of the RuII precursor; (2) side reactions occur between the ketone substrate and the active catalytic species that affect the concentration of the latter and consequently the apparent rate; the formation of inactive (β-diketonato)RuII complexes is demonstrated in the case of β-oxo esters.
