Two chiral Schiff base ligands 2-((1-hydroxy-3-phenylpropan-2-ylimino)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol (L1H2) and 2-(4-hydroxy-3-isopropylbut-1-enyl)-6-methoxyphenol (L2H2) have been synthesized by the condensation of l-phenylalaninol/l-valinol and o-vanillin (2-hydroxy-3-methoxy benzaldehyde). A tetranuclear homometallic Cu(II) complex [Cu4(L1H)2(L1)2] (ClO4)2 (C1) and a hexanuclear heterometallic complex [Cu4(L2)4Na2(DMF)2(H2O)] (ClO4)2 (C2) have been synthesized with the ligands. Both the complexes possess cubane like Cu4O4 core with interesting structural variations and inherit the chirality of their corresponding ligands. The catalytic potential of the complexes has been explored for the oxidative kinetic resolution of racemic benzoin. The electronic, optical and chiroptical properties of the ligands and the complexes have been studied by DFT and TD-DFT calculations.

A bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin) ligand was firstly synthesized via a thiol-ene click chemistry reaction between allyl-ureido-β-cyclodextrin and 4-4′-thiobisthiophenol, which was then bonded onto a 5 μm spherical silica gel to obtain a novel bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin) chiral stationary phase (HTCDP). The structures of HTCDP and the bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin) ligand were characterized by the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), solid state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR) spectra spectrum, scanning electron microscope, elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, infrared spectrometry and thermogravimetric analysis. The performance of HTCDP in enantioseparation was systematically examined by separating 21 chiral compounds, including 8 flavanones, 8 triazole pesticides and 5 other common chiral drugs (benzoin, praziquantel, 1-1′-bi-2-naphthol, Tr?ger's base and bicalutamide) in the reversed-phase chromatographic mode. By optimizing the chromatographic conditions such as formic acid content, mobile phase composition, pH values and column temperature, 19 analytes were completely separated with high resolution (1.50-4.48), in which the enantiomeric resolution of silymarin, 4-hydroxyflavanone, 2-hydroxyflavanone and flavanone were up to 4.34, 4.48, 3.89 and 3.06 within 35 min, respectively. Compared to the native β-CD chiral stationary phase (CDCSP), HTCDP had superior enantiomer separation and chiral recognition abilities. For example, HTCDP completely separated 5 other common chiral drugs, 2 flavanones and 3 triazole pesticides that CDCSP failed to separate. Unlike CDCSP, which has a small cavity (0.65 nm), the two cavities in HTCDP joined by the aryl connector could synergistically accommodate relatively bulky chiral analytes. Thus, HTCDP may have a broader prospect in enantiomeric separation, analysis and detection. This journal is
Microbial synthesis of (S)- And (R)-benzoin in enantioselective desymmetrization and deracemization catalyzed by aureobasidium pullulans included in the blossom protect agent

In this study, we examined the Aureobasidium pullulans strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941 included in the Blossom Protect agent to be used in the bioreduction reaction of a symmetrical dicarbonyl compound. Both chiral 2-hydroxy-1,2-diphenylethanone antipodes were obtained with a high enantiomeric purity. Mild conditions (phosphate buffer [pH 7.0, 7.2], 30 ?C) were successfully employed in the synthesis of (S)-benzoin using two different methodologies: benzyl desymmetrization and rac-benzoin deracemization. Bioreduction carried out with higher reagent concentrations, lower pH values and prolonged reaction time, and in the presence of additives, enabled enrichment of the reaction mixture with (R)-benzoin. The described procedure is a potentially useful tool in the synthesis of chiral building blocks with a defined configuration in a simple and economical process with a lower environmental impact, enabling one-pot biotransformation.

The enantioselective intermolecular crossed-benzoin condensation mediated by novel chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes derived from pyroglutamic acid has been investigated. A small library of chiral triazolium ions were synthesised. Each possessed a tertiary alcohol H-bond donor and a variable N-aryl substituent. It was found that increasing both the steric requirement and the electron-withdrawing characteristics of the N-aryl ring led to more chemoselective, efficient and enantioselective chemistry, however both quenching the reaction at different times and deuterium incorporation experiments involving the product revealed that this is complicated by product racemisation in situ (except in the case of benzoin itself), which explains the dependence of enantioselectivity on the electrophilicity of the reacting aldehydes common in the literature. Subsequent protocol optimisation, where one reacting partner was an o-substituted benzaldehyde, allowed a range of crossed-benzoins to be synthesised in moderate-good yields with moderate to excellent enantioselectivity.

An efficient palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative cycloaddition process of vinyl cyclic carbonates and vinyloxazolidinones for the synthesis of highly substituted δ-lactone and δ-lactam derivatives was developed. This protocol exhibits several unique characteristics, including broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and operational convenience, which enables a regioselective access to a variety of lactone and lactam scaffolds in moderate to good yield. The redox-neutral catalytic system promotes formation of substituted scaffolds with in situ generation of a cyclic tetra-substituted double bond functionality.

The synthesis of enantiomerically pure benzoins by hydrogenation of readily available benzils has been long thwarted by their base-sensitivity. We show here that an iron(II) hydride complex catalyzes the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of benzils from 2-propanol. When strictly base-free conditions are granted, excellent enantioselectivity is achieved even with o-substituted substrates, which are particularly challenging to prepare with other methods. Hence, under optimized reaction conditions, chiral benzoins were prepared in good yields (up to 83%) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee) in short reaction times (30-75 min). Also, this work confirms that both enantiomers of the benzoin products can be accessed when a metal catalyst is used, which is a clear advantage over enzymatic methods.

Novel chiral selectors based on 3,5-dimethyl phenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin connecting quinine (QN) or quinidine (QD) moiety were synthesized and immobilized on silica gel. Their chromatographic performances were investigated by comparing to the 3,5-dimethyl phenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) chiral stationary phase (CSP) and 9-O-(tert-butylcarbamoyl)-QN-based CSP (QN-AX). Fmoc-protected amino acids, chiral drug cloprostenol (which has been successfully employed in veterinary medicine), and neutral chiral analytes were evaluated on CSPs, and the results showed that the novel CSPs characterized as both enantioseparation capabilities of CD-based CSP and QN/QD-based CSPs have broader application range than β-CD-based CSP or QN/QD-based CSPs. It was found that QN/QD moieties play a dominant role in the overall enantioseparation process of Fmoc-amino acids accompanied by the synergistic effect of β-CD moiety, which lead to the different enantioseparation of β-CD-QN-based CSP and β-CD-QD-based CSP. Furthermore, new CSPs retain extraordinary enantioseparation of cyclodextrin-based CSP for some neutral analytes on normal phase and even exhibit better enantioseparation than the corresponding β-CD-based CSP for certain samples.

A highly enantioselective acyloin rearrangement of cyclic α-ketols has been developed with a chiral Al(III)-N,N′-dioxide complex as catalyst. This strategy provided an array of optically active 2-acyl-2-hydroxy cyclohexanones in moderate to good yields with high enantioselectivities. The asymmetric isomerizations of acyclic α-hydroxy aldehydes and α-iminols were achieved as well under modified conditions, affording the corresponding chiral α-hydroxy ketones and α-amino ketones in moderate results. Moreover, further transformations of product to enantioenriched diols were carried out.

Coating cellulose tris (3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC) on silica gels with large pores have been demonstrated as an efficient way for the preparation of chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). During the process, a number of parameters, including the type of coating solvent, amount of coating, and the method for subsequent solvent removing, have been proved to affect the performance of the resultant CSPs. Coating times and the concentration of coating solution, however, also makes a difference to CSPs' performance by changing the arrangement of cellulose derivatives while remaining the coating amount constant, have much less been studied before, and thereby, were systematically investigated in this work. Results showed that CSPs with more coating times exhibited higher chiral recognition and column efficiency, suggesting that resolution was determined by column efficiency herein. Afterwards, we also investigated the effect of coating amount on the performance of CSPs, and it was shown that the ability of enantio-recognition did not increase all the time as the coating amount; and four of seven racemates achieved best resolution when the coating amount reached to 18.37%. At the end, the reproducibility of CDMPC-coated CSPs were further confirmed by two methods, ie, reprepared the CSP-0.15-3 and reevaluated the effect of coating times.
Three-State Switchable Chiral Stationary Phase Based on Helicity Control of an Optically Active Poly(phenylacetylene) Derivative by Using Metal Cations in the Solid State

An unprecedented three-state switchable chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed using a helical poly(phenylacetylene) bearing a chiral (R)-α-methoxyphenylacetic acid residue as the pendant (poly-1). The left- and right-handed helical conformations were induced in poly-1-based CSP upon coordination with a catalytic amount of soluble sodium and cesium tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate salts (MBArF), respectively, which are soluble in the HPLC conditions [hexane-2-propanol (95:5, v/v)]. The switch between the two different helical states of poly-1 can be easily achieved by rinsing the poly-1-based CSP with MeOH and the subsequent addition of the proper MBArF salt. Using this dynamic helical CSP, we demonstrate how changes on the orientation of the secondary structure of a chiral polymer (right-handed, left-handed, and racemic helices) can alter and even invert the elution order of the enantiomers. This study was done without adding chiral additives or changing the mobile phase, which could produce changes on the retention times and make it more difficult to determine the role of the secondary structure during the chiral recognition process.
