Partial resolution of racemic 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (1) was readily achieved to obtain enriched (scalemic) 1 using (S)-proline (2). The structure of the complex 3 formed between 1 (2 equiv) and (S)-proline (1 equiv) was characterized by an X-ray diffraction method. Enantiomeric excesses of the incompletely resolved 1 were enriched to obtain essentially pure (R)- and (S)-1 following a simple procedure using B(OH)(3) and TMEDA.

Herein, we introduce a scandium-catalyzed synthetic strategy that provides access to a diverse and functionalized array of cyclobutene frameworks adorned with a quaternary carbon center. This approach broadens the synthetic repertoire of 2-alkynylnaphthols with alkenes, offering a versatile platform for the construction of complex molecular architectures. The asymmetric catalytic [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction demonstrates a wide substrate scope and an impressive functional group tolerance, yielding products with high efficiency, up to 97% yield, and excellent enantiomeric excess of up to 97%.

Chiral azacyclic amine derivatives occupy a vital role of nitrogen-containing compounds, due to serve as foundational motifs in numerous pharmaceuticals and bioactive substances. Novel complementary enantioselective reductive aminases IRED9 and IRED11 were unveiled through comprehensive gene mining from Streptomyces viridochromogenes and Micromonospora echinaurantiaca, respectively, which both demonstrated enantiomeric excess (ee) values and conversion ratio up to 99% towards N-Boc-3-pyridinone (NBPO) and cyclopropylamine. IRED9 exhibited the highest activity at pH 8.

In our previous study, the whole cells containing an aldo-keto reductase (yhdN) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) were constructed and applied in a stereoselective carbonyl reduction reaction to prepare (S)-NEMCA-HEPE, being a key chiral intermediate of (S)-Rivastigmine which is widely prescribed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Although the conversion and enantiomeric excess (e.e.

Chiral discrimination is an indispensable tool that has pivotal importance in the assignment of absolute configuration and determination of enantiomeric excess in chiral compounds. A series of enantiomerically pure -1,2-diaminocyclohexane (-DACH)-derived benzamides were first synthesized by simple chemical steps, and 14 variated derivatives have been assessed as NMR chiral solvating agents (CSAs) for discrimination of the signals of mandelic acid (MA) in H NMR analysis. The highly efficient chiral recognition of CSA on different substrates, including MAs, carboxylic acids, amino acid derivatives, and phosphoric acids (32 examples), was expanded via H, F, and P NMR spectroscopy.

The enantioselective synthesis of P(V)-stereogenic compounds has emerged as an interesting research topic primarily due to their significant biological activity and broad application prospects. Herein, we disclose a method for the construction of P(V)-stereogenic compounds from prochiral phosphinamides and aryl iodides via palladium- and chiral norbornene-catalyzed desymmetric annulation. The P(V)-stereogenic compounds were formed with a broad scope with excellent enantiomeric excesses.
