Quantum mechanical calculations have been performed to study the stereoselectivities in the direct cross-aldol reactions of aldehydes catalyzed by simple chiral diamines. The detailed computational studies on the stereochemistry-controlling step of the subject reactions have been presented by DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. The poor agreement between the calculated and the observed diastereomeric ratio and enantiomeric excess values is obtained for all diamines catalysts. Further M06-2X calculations can provide a reasonable explanation for the observed syn-selectivities of the asymmetric cross-aldol reaction between propionaldehyde and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde.

A new pair of 2,2ʹ-diamino-1,1ʹ-binaphthyl linked porphyrin dimers, (R)-/(S)-H, were synthesized to study their supramolecular interactions with a pair of chiral diamines ((R)-/(S)-PPDA) by using UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence and NMR titrations. The spectroscopic titrations indicated that sandwich-type 1:1 complexes were formed at low guest concentration and then transformed to 1:2 open complexes at high guest concentration. The supramolecular interactions afforded sensitive circular dichroism responses, and the CD signs of the 1:1 complexes are decided by the stereostructure of chiral diamine guests. Moreover, due to the shortened linking units, (R)-/(S)-H show more sensitive and predicable CD response than the previously reported hosts (R)-/(S)-H1 and this can be reasonably explained by DFT molecular modeling. The present results suggest (R)-/(S)-H are promising for chiral optical sensing.

RuCl2(P–OP)(N–N) complexes containing an atropisomerizable phosphine–phosphite and a chiral diamine are effective catalyst precursors for the asymmetric hydrogenation of N-aryl imines following an outer-sphere mechanism.
