This study presents a new method for the highly selective recognition of chiral mandelic acid (MA) using L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) as the selector. The proposed method is based on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) detection, integrated with a vapor diffused molecular assembly (VDMA) reaction technique. The construction of the L-Phe-modified QCM sensor involved a two-step assembly procedure. The chiral recognizability of L- and D-MA on the L-Phe-modified surface was then examined using the VDMA method and QCM. The chiral discrimination factor between L- and D-MA detected by QCM, alpha(L-MA/D-MA), was found to be about 8. The VDMA selective sensing of L-MA on the L-Phe-modified surface was also confirmed by the contact angle measurements. The L-Phe-modified QCM sensor showed good stability and reusability. The present chiral recognition results suggest that L-phe is an excellent resolving agent for the resolution of chiral mandelic acid.

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 crystal structures of (±)-mandelamide, -mandelamide, and enantioenriched mandelamide (94 : 6 ) were determined. Diastereomeric cocrystal pairs of -mandelamide with both enantiomers of mandelic acid and proline were synthesized. The diastereomeric cocrystal pairs of -mandelamide with /-mandelic acid form 1:1 cocrystals in each case, while the diastereomeric cocrystal pairs of -mandelamide with proline have different stoichiometries.

This study reports the synthesis and the experimental-theoretical characterization of a new coamorphous system consisting of ethionamide (ETH) and mandelic acid (MND) as a coformer. The solid dispersion was synthesized using the slow solvent evaporation method in an ethanolic medium. The structural, vibrational, and thermal properties of the system were characterized.

The cycloaddition of CO to epoxide (CCE) reactions produce valuable cyclic carbonates useful in the electrolytes of lithium-ion batteries, as organic solvents, and in polymeric materials. However, halide-containing catalysts are predominantly used in these reactions, despite halides being notoriously corrosive to steel processing equipment and residual halides also having harmful effects. To eliminate the reliance on halides as cocatalyst in most CCE reactions, halide-free catalysts are highly desirable.

A major factor limiting the biodegradation of organofluorine compounds has been highlighted as fluoride anion toxicity produced by defluorinating enzymes. Here, two highly active defluorinases with different activities were constitutively expressed in Pseudomonas putida ATCC 12633 to examine adaption to fluoride stress. Each strain was grown on α-fluorophenylacetic acid as the sole carbon source via defluorination to mandelic acid, and each showed immediate fluoride release and delayed growth.
