A highly fluorescent coordination cage [Zn8L4I 8] has been constructed by treating enantiopure pyridyl- functionalized metallosalalen units (L) with zinc(II) iodide and characterized by a variety of techniques including microanalysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Strong intermolecular π-π, CH-π, and CH-I interactions direct packing of the cage molecules to generate a 3D polycage network interconnected by pentahedral cages formed by adjacent pentamers. The cage has an amphiphilic helical cavity decorated with chiral NH functionalities capable of interactions with guest species such as saccharides. The fluorescence of the cage was greatly enhanced by five enantiomeric saccharides in solution, with enantioselectivity factors of 2.480-4.943, and by five enantiomeric amines in the solid state, with enantioselective fluorescence enhancement ratios of 1.30-3.60. This remarkable chiral sensing of both saccharides and amines with impressive enantioselectivity may result from the steric confinement of the cavity as well as its conformational rigidity. It holds great promise for the development of novel chiral cage materials for sensing applications. Cage-based chiral sensor: A highly fluorescent coordination cage [Zn8L 4I8] can be prepared from enantiopure pyridyl- functionalized metallosalalen units (L). The cage has an amphiphilic helical cavity decorated with chiral NH functionalities and supramolecular interactions generate a 3D polycage network interconnected by pentahedral cages formed by adjacent pentamers (see graphic). The fluorescence of the cage is greatly enhanced either in solution or in the solid state in the presence of enantiomeric saccharides or amines, respectively, with significant enantioselectivity factors.

Herein, we disclose a transition-metal-free reaction system that enables α-cyanation of sulfonamides through C-H bond cleavage for the preparation of α-amino nitriles, including difficult-to-access all-alkyl α-tertiary scaffolds. More than 50 substrate examples prove a wide functional group tolerance. Additionally, its synthetic practicality is highlighted by gram-scalability and the late-stage modification of natural compounds. Mechanistic experiments suggest that this process involves in situ formation of an imine intermediate via base-promoted elimination of HF.

The direct conversion of ketones into chiral primary amines is a key transformation in chemistry. Here, we present a ruthenium catalyzed asymmetric reductive amination (ARA) of purely aliphatic ketones with good yields and moderate enantioselectivity: up to 99 percent yield and 74 percent ee. The strategy involves [Ru(PPh3)3H(CO)Cl] in combination with the ligand (S,S)-f-binaphane as the catalyst, NH4I as the amine source and H2 as the reductant. This is a straightforward and user-friendly process to access industrially relevant chiral aliphatic primary amines. Although the enantioselectivity with this approach is only moderate, to the extent of our knowledge, the maximum ee of 74 percent achieved with this system is the highest reported till now apart from enzyme catalysis for the direct transformation of ketones into chiral aliphatic primary amines.
