A palladium-catalyzed enantioselective tandem reaction of 2,5-cyclohexadienyl-substituted aryl iodides and carbon or heteroatom nucleophiles has been successfully established by using a chiral H ₈ -BINOL-based phosphoramidite ligand.

A homochiral metal–organic framework is constructed from an amino acid-derived ligand and it exhibits high enantioseparation capacities for alcohols, epoxides, and ibuprofen.
