It has been previously demonstrated that nanovessels can be highly competent catalysts providing high rate accelerations and unique selectivity to the organic transformations which they mediate. However, for supramolecular assemblies to be considered a standard reagent in organic synthesis they must first demonstrate the ability to catalyze increasingly complex transformations. Herein, we report a three-component Aza-Darzens reaction that generates -phenylaziridines, catalyzed by a supramolecular host, that provides the stereoisomer opposite to the one generated in bulk solution ( vs ). This transformation constitutes a rare catalytic three-component coupling within a supramolecular assembly, providing a supramolecular solution to a synthetically challenging transformation.

In recent decades, many efforts have been devoted to studying reactions catalyzed in nanoconfined spaces. The most impressive aspect of catalysis in nanoconfined spaces is that the reactivity of the molecules can be smartly driven to disobey classical behavior. A green and efficient three-component aza-Darzens (TCAD) reaction using a catalytic amount of γ-cyclodextrins (CDs) in water has been developed to synthesize N-phenylaziridines.

The exploration and development of coordination nanocages can provide an approach to control chemical reactions beyond the bounds of the flask, which has aroused great interest due to their significant applications in the field of molecular recognition, supramolecular catalysis, and molecular self-assembly. Herein, we take the advantage of a semirigid and nonsymmetric bridging ligand (H) with rich metal-chelating sites to construct an unusual and discrete 3d-4f metallacage, [ZnEr(H)(NO)Cl(HO)]·NO·CHOH·HO (). The 3d-4f cage possesses a quadruple-stranded structure, and all of the ligands wrap around an open spherical cavity within the core.
