TL;DR: A porous, robust homochiral metal-organic framework (MOF), TAMOF-1, built from copper(II) and an affordable linker prepared from natural L-histidine is disclosed, opening unprecedented possibilities for low-energy chiral separation at the industrial scale.

TL;DR: Iridium(I) complexes of enantiomerically pure phosphine-phosphite ligands efficiently catalyze the enantioselective hydrogenation of diverse C═N-containing heterocyclic compounds (benzoxazines, benzoxazinones, benzothiaz inones, and quinoxalinones).

TL;DR: A library of modular iridium complexes derived from P-OP ligands has been evaluated in iridium-mediated asymmetric hydrogenations of heteroaromatic compounds in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, different methods for transforming N-heteroarenes into more reactive derivatives for catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation are highlighted, including the formation of positively charged derivatives of the heteroarene.

TL;DR: This straightforward combination of (reusable) Bronsted acids, which activate the indole ring for hydrogenation by breaking its aromaticity, and enantiomerically pure [Ir(P–OP)]+ complexes as hydrogenation catalysts affords the resulting indolines with high enantioselectivities.
