Two homochiral organocatalytic metal organic materials with nanoscopic channels

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Sep 11;49(70):7693-5. doi: 10.1039/c3cc43801e.

Abstract

Two homochiral organocatalytic MOMs were prepared using tetra- and octa-carboxylate ligands, respectively. The nanoscopic channels in these MOMs are lined by organonocatalytic chiral phosphoric acid derivatives of binol and ocMOM-1 exhibited improved enantioselectivity over the parent ligand in the context of transfer hydrogenation of a series of benzoxazines.
