Control of enantioselectivity by remote amide conformation has been studied in SmI2-mediated reductive coupling of aldehydes with the crotonates possessing different 2-substituted 8-methoxy-1-naphthamides. The enantiomers of atropisomeric 8-methoxy-1-naphthamides were prepared through a chemical resolution process, and their absolute stereochemistry was determined by X-ray crystal structural analysis. It was found that the linkage between crotonate and the C2 position of 8-methoxy-1-naphthamides remarkably influenced the efficiency of remote chirality transfer originated from the amide conformation. Among the four crotonates examined, the one derived from 2-hydroxy-8-methoxy-1-naphthamide reacted with pentanal to afford the highest ee of > 99% for the cis-gamma-butyrolactone and in 90% combined yield with a cis/trans ratio of 90:10. We developed a new procedure for attaching the chiral crotonate via the C8 oxygen to a Rink amide resin under mild conditions and obtained the same level of highly remote axial-to-central chirality transfer in the solid-phase reaction.

The azahelicenes are structurally fascinating and practically useful chiral scaffolds, but their synthesis, especially in a catalytically asymmetric manner, is rather challenging. Herein, we report a CPA-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation process, which enables a rapid kinetic resolution of aza[6]helicenes. The established strategy provides facile access to enantioenriched aza[6]helicenes and tetrahydro[6]helicenes from easily available starting materials.

Treatment of multisubstituted NH-enesulfinamides with tosyl isocyanate (TsNCO) at room temperature results in the formation of α-tosylcarbamoyloxy -sulfenyl ketimines with high enantioselectivity. This process is believed to proceed via a vinylogous aza-Pummerer-type reaction pathway in which the sulfinyl oxygen atom in the enesulfinamides undergoes nucleophilic attack on tosyl isocyanate, triggering the subsequent transformations that enable the transfer of chirality from sulfur to carbon.

Endowing biomimetic sequence-controlled polymers with chiral functionality to construct stimuli-responsive chiral materials offers a promising approach for innovative chiroptical switch, but it remains challenging. Herein, it is reported that the self-assembly of sequence-defined chiral amphiphilic alternating azopeptoids to generate photo-responsive and ultrathin bilayer peptoidosomes with a vesicular thickness of ≈1.50 nm and a diameter of around ≈290 nm.

Mimicking the superstructures and properties of spherical biological encapsulants such as viral capsids and ferritin offers viable pathways to understand their chiral assemblies and functional roles in living systems. However, stereospecific assembly of artificial polyhedra with mechanical properties and guest-binding attributes akin to biological encapsulants remains a formidable challenge. Here we report the stereospecific assembly of dynamic supramolecular snub cubes from 12 helical macrocycles, which are held together by 144 weak C-H hydrogen bonds.

We report a two-step approach to fabricate CsPbBr3 superstructures with strongly circularly polarized photoluminescence by self-assembly of nanoclusters on a substrate, followed by their annealing. In the first step, the nanoclusters self-assemble upon solvent evaporation, a process that forms mesoscopic superstructures whose geometrical arrangement at the µm-scale confers them optical chirality. In the second step, mild annealing of such superstructures induces the coalescence of the nanoclusters, accompanied by a continuous red shift of the photoluminescence up to 530 nm, with preservation of the µm-scale wires bundles and the chiral properties of the sample (glum = 0.
