Article Abstract

Chirality is an important property, especially for chiral drug enantiomers with huge differences in pharmacology and toxicity. Chiral recognition of drug enantiomers is the first step to understanding the physiological phenomenon and ensuring medical safety. To efficiently identify and isolate these chiral drugs, we prepared a nanochannel. Here, a chiral sensor was fabricated by introducing the host-guest system of pillar[5]arene (WAP5) and phenethylamine into solid-state nanochannels. The chiral guest R-phenethylamine (R-PEA) induced the chirality of the host-guest system and amplified the chiral selectivity for ibuprofen enantiomers in the host-guest-based nanochannels, which was significantly greater than that in the aqueous phase or the R-PEA modified nanochannels. This study provides a strategy to fabricate highly enantioselective nanosensors for chiral drugs.

Life requires chemical chiral specificity. The emergence of enantioselectivity is unknown but has been linked to diverse scenarios for the origin of life, ranging from an extraterrestrial origin to polarization-induced effects, and magnetic field-induced mineral templating. These scenarios require an originating mechanism and a subsequent enhancement step, leading to widespread chiral specificity.

Despite increasing demand for chiral fluorinated organic molecules, enantioselective C-H fluorination remains among the most challenging and sought-after transformations in organic synthesis. Furthermore, utilizing nucleophilic sources of fluorine is especially desirable for F-radiolabelling. To date, methods for enantioselective nucleophilic fluorination of inert C(sp)-H bonds remain unknown.

Based on a patented new concept of general chiral catalysis, a series of new chiral ligands integrating both a MacMillan imidazolinone organocatalyst and a chiral N,P-ligand scaffold has been designed and concisely prepared from commercially available chiral α-amino acids and 2-diphenylphosphino-benzaldehyde. These chiral ligands have shown good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee) with satisfactory yields (up to 95%) in enantioselective Pd-catalyzed allylations with 1,3-dicarbonyls and amines.

: Carbohydrate-derived chiral ligands are promising tools in asymmetric catalysis due to their structural diversity, chirality, and availability. However, ligands based on galactose or sorbose have been scarcely explored in the enantioselective addition of dialkylzinc reagents to aldehydes. : A series of chiral diols and β-amino alcohols was synthesized from methyl D-glucopyranoside, methyl D-galactopyranoside, and D-fructose.
