homochiral metal-organic frameworks - cyanosilylation - cerium

Significance

Homochiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were prepared through the chiral induction effect. Thus, the homochiral crystallization of Ce(NO3)˙6H2O and H4MDIP was performed with l- or d-BCIP as chiral inducers in water to give Ce-MDIP1 and Ce-MDIP2 (where no BCIP was installed), which exhibited Cotton effects exactly opposite to each other. Ce-MDIPs promoted the cyanosilylation to give the corresponding ­cyanohydrin derivatives quantitatively with 93 to >98% ee.

Comment

Ce-MDIP1 was reused twice without significant loss of catalytic activity. Cd-TBT was also prepared from Cd(ClO4)˙6H2O and H3TBT under similar conditions. Cd-TBT mediated the ­direct aldol reaction of aldehydes and cyclohexanone to afford the corresponding β-hydroxy ­ketones in 8-97% yield with 58-61% ee in ten days.
