We report here the synthesis of a robust and porous metal-organic framework (MOF), Zr12-TPDC, constructed from triphenyldicarboxylic acid (H2TPDC) and an unprecedented Zr12 secondary building unit (SBU): Zr12(μ3-O)8(μ3-OH)8(μ2-OH)6. The Zr12-SBU can be viewed as an inorganic node dimerized from two commonly observed Zr6 clusters via six μ2-OH groups. The metalation of Zr12-TPDC SBUs with CoCl2 followed by treatment with NaBEt3H afforded a highly active and reusable solid Zr12-TPDC-Co catalyst for the hydrogenation of nitroarenes, nitriles, and isocyanides to corresponding amines with excellent activity and selectivity. This work highlights the opportunity in designing novel MOF-supported single-site solid catalysts by tuning the electronic and steric properties of the SBUs.
Oxidation Under Reductive Conditions: From Benzylic Ethers to Acetals with Perfect Atom-Economy by Titanocene(III) Catalysis

Described here is a titanocene-catalyzed reaction for the synthesis of acetals and hemiaminals from benzylic ethers and benzylic amines, respectively, with pendant epoxides. The reaction proceeds by catalysis in single-electron steps. The oxidative addition comprises an epoxide opening. An H-atom transfer, to generate a benzylic radical, serves as a radical translocation step, and an organometallic oxygen rebound as a reductive elimination. The reaction mechanism was studied by high-level dispersion corrected hybrid functional DFT with implicit solvation. The low-energy conformational space was searched by the efficient CREST program. The stereoselectivity was deduced from the lowest lying benzylic radical structures and their conformations are controlled by hyperconjugative interactions and steric interactions between the titanocene catalyst and the aryl groups of the substrate. An interesting mechanistic aspect is that the oxidation of the benzylic center occurs under reducing conditions.
Continuous Flow Chiral Amine Racemization Applied to Continuously Recirculating Dynamic Diastereomeric Crystallizations

A new, dynamic diastereomeric crystallization method has been developed, in which the mother liquors are continuously separated, racemized over a fixed-bed catalyst, and recirculated to the crystallizer in a resolution-racemization-recycle (R3) process. S

Paragraph 0280; 0285-0286, (2020/02/23)
The present invention relates to an analytical method that includes providing a sample potentially containing a chiral analyte that can exist in stereoisomeric forms, and providing a probe selected from the group consisting of coumarin-derived Michael acceptors, dinitrofluoroarenes and analogs thereof, arylsulfonyl chlorides and analogs thereof, arylchlorophosphines and analogs thereof, aryl halophosphites, and halodiazaphosphites. The sample is contacted with the probe under conditions to permit covalent binding of the probe to the analyte, if present in the sample; and, based on any binding that occurs, the absolute configuration of the analyte in the sample, and/or the concentration of the analyte in the sample, and/or the enantiomeric composition of the analyte in the sample is/are determined. The probe may be a coumarin-derived Michael acceptor, a di nitrofluoroarene or analog thereof, an arylsulfonyl chloride or analog thereof, an arylchlorophosphine or analog thereof, an aryl halophosphite, or a halodiazaphosphite.
