Fundamental to the synthesis of enantioenriched chiral molecules is the ability to assign absolute configuration at each stereogenic center, and to determine the enantiomeric excess for each compound. While determination of enantiomeric excess and absolute configuration is often considered routine in many facets of asymmetric synthesis, the same determinations for enantioisotopomers remains a formidable challenge. Here, we report the first highly enantioselective metal-catalyzed synthesis of enantioisotopomers that are chiral by virtue of deuterium substitution along with the first general spectroscopic technique for assignment of the absolute configuration and quantitative determination of the enantiomeric excess of isotopically chiral molecules. Chiral tag …

The significance of second-sphere interactions in synthetic catalysts and metalloenzyme active sites has encouraged the development of ligand frameworks capable of supporting intramolecular hydrogen-bonding networks. With this approach in mind, we prepared a series of 2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide ligands (H2LX) that feature outer-sphere heterocyclic groups (pyridine, pyrimidine, or quinoline rings). Reaction with CuCl2 yields complexes with the general formula [CuCl2(LX{H}2)] (1X), in which the pincer ligands coordinate to the CuII center in a tridentate fashion through the central pyridine and two amidato nitrogen atoms. The LX …
