Article Abstract
A mutant L206F/P207F/L259F of lipase (TTL) exhibited high hydrolytic activity towards 2-carboxyethyl-3-cyano-5-methylhexanoic acid ethyl ester (CNDE) for synthesis of ()-2-carboxyethyl-3-cyano-5-methylhexanoic acid (-CCMA), a key chiral intermediate of pregabalin. However, low conversion at high CNDE concentration and unreusability of the free TTL mutant restricted its industrial applications. In this study, the TTL mutant was immobilized onto epoxy resin and its catalytic properties for kinetic resolution of CNDE were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the immobilized lipase exhibited an increased catalytic efficiency even at a CNDE concentration of 3 M with 49.7% conversion and 95% . The conversion retained higher than 46.3% even after 10 times repeated use of the immobilized lipase in -heptane-water biphasic system. These results demonstrated great potential of the immobilized TTL mutant for industrial production of the chiral intermediate of pregabalin.

Aziridines, structurally related to epoxides, are among the most challenging and fascinating heterocycles in organic chemistry due to their increasing applications in asymmetric synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. These three-membered nitrogen-containing rings serve as key intermediates in the synthesis of chiral amines, complex molecules, and pharmaceutically relevant compounds. This review provides an overview of recent progress in catalytic asymmetric aziridination, focusing on novel methodologies, an analysis of the scope and limitations of each approach, and mechanistic insights.

Herein, we report the first regio- and enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydropyrido[2,3-]pyrazines using a chiral iridacycle catalyst. Pyridyl diamines and diketones undergo sequential annulation and asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of the generated pyrido[2,3-]pyrazine intermediates. This method provides diverse fused N-heterocycles in high yields (up to 95%) and enantioselectivity (98.

Developing new agrochemicals is essential for sustainable agriculture and global food security. Our group focused on natural products that control plant pathogens, conducting synthetic research across three key areas of interest: antimicrobial compounds, phytoalexins, and microbial signaling molecules. We established new methods for producing chiral allylic alcohols as useful synthetic intermediates for natural product synthesis the enantioselective synthesis of antimicrobial agents such as peniciaculins.

Metal-halide perovskites are known for their strong and tunable luminescence. However, the synthesis of perovskite-based particles with circularly polarized light emission (CPLE) remains challenging due to the complex interplay of metal-ligand chemistries, crystallization patterns, and chirality transfer mechanisms. Achiral perovskites can be deposited on chiral "hedgehog" particles (CHIPs) with twisted spikes, producing chiroptically active materials with spectroscopic bands specific to the perovskite and chirality specific to the template CHIPs.

Asymmetric organo-metal combined catalysis, which integrates the catalytic functions of chiral organocatalysts and metal complexes, enables the enantioselective formation of challenging chemical bonds and facilitates cascade transformations, often without the need for intermediate purification. Since its inception in 2001, this paradigm has evolved into a versatile strategy for the rapid construction of molecular complexity with a high level of enantioselectivity. In this Outlook, we have highlighted the most recent contributions to this field, showcasing exciting opportunities to overcome current efficiency limits.
