Abstract
Three chiral nanorods of C14-l-Thea, C14-l-Phe, and C14-d-Phe were first synthesized and utilized as heterogeneous nucleants to enhance the resolution of racemic Asp via direct crystallization. Through the statistical analysis from 320 batches of nucleation experiments, we found that the apparent appearance diversity of two enantiomeric crystals of Asp existed in 80 homogeneous experiments without chiral nanorods. However, in 240 heterogeneous experiments with 4.0 wt % chiral nanorods of solute mass added, the appearance of those nuclei with the same chirality as the nanorods was apparently promoted, and that with the opposite chirality was totally inhibited. Under a supersaturation level of 1.08, the maximum ee of the initial nuclei was as high as 23.51%. When the cooling rate was 0.025 K/min, the ee of the product was up to 76.85% with a yield of 14.41%. Furthermore, the simulation results from quantum mechanics (QM) and molecular dynamics (MD) revealed that the higher chiral recognition ability of C14-l-Thea compared to C14-l-Phe that originated from the interaction difference between C14-l-Thea and Asp enantiomers was larger than that between C14-l-Phe and Asp enantiomers. Moreover, the constructed nanorods exhibited good stability and recyclability.

Crystal Structure of Chiral Drug Prenalterol and Its Precursor Prone to Spontaneous Resolution. Symmetry (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
Due to the chiral uniformity of proteins and carbohydrates, the basic building blocks of living matter, the mirror symmetry characteristics of drugs are of exceptional importance for medicinal chemistry. In this work, we present a new synthesis of the mono-enantiomeric chiral drug prenalterol 1 based on the symmetry-breaking phenomenon, namely, the spontaneous resolution of 4-hydroxyphenyl glycerol ether 2. The single crystal X-ray diffraction method was used to investigate both rac- and (S)-1 as well as (R)-2. A feature of the main crystal-forming supramolecular motif (SMM) for diol 2 is the participation of three different molecules representing different types of hydroxyl groups in the formation of its repeating unit. The type of prenalterol SMM, as in the case of the related drugs propranolol 3 and pindolol 4, appears to be a chirality driven property, and is dictated by the enantiomeric composition of the crystals. In single-enantiomeric forms, infinite one-dimensional chains are realized, organized around helical axes, while in racemates, zero-dimensional cycles are realized, organized around inversion symmetry elements. The results obtained again demonstrate the influence of the chiral polarization of a substance not only on the general (selection of a space group), but also on particular characteristics of matter crystal organization, namely selection of a specific SMM.

Abstract
Chiral recognition plays an important role in the self-assembly of soft materials, in particular supramolecular organogels formed by low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs). Out of 14 pairs of the studied racemic and enantiopure samples of alkyl-substituted phenyl ethers of glycerol, only eight enantiopure diols form the stable gels in nonane. The formation of gels from solutions was studied by polarimetry, and their degradation with the formation of xerogels was studied by the PXRD method. The revealed crystalline characteristics of all studied xerogels corresponded to those for crystalline samples of the parent gelators. In addition to those previously investigated, crystalline samples of enantiopure para-n-alkylphenyl glycerol ethers [alkyl = pentyl (5), hexyl (6), heptyl (7), octyl (8), nonyl (9)] and racemic 3-(3,5-dimethylphenoxy)propane-1,2-diol (rac-14) have been examined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Among 22 samples of compounds 1–14 studied by SC-XRD, seven different types of supramolecular motifs are identified, of which only two are realized in crystals of supramolecular gelators. An attempt was made to relate the ability to gel formation with the characteristics of the supramolecular motif of a potential gelling agent, and the frequency of formation of the motif, required for gelation, with the chiral characteristics of the sample.

Abstract
Spontaneous resolution of Pasteur’s salt was historically the first way to obtain pure enantiomers from the racemate. The current increase in interest in the direct racemates resolution during crystallization is largely due to the opened prospects for the industrial application of this approach. The chiral 3-(3,4-dimethylphenoxy) propane-1,2-diol 1 is a synthetic precursor of practically useful amino alcohols, the enantiomers of which exhibit different biological effects. In this work, it was first discovered that racemic diol 1 is prone to spontaneous resolution. However, the crystallization process is complicated by the existence, along with the conglomerate, of two other crystalline forms. Using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) approach, methods have been developed to obtain individual metastable phases, and all identified modifications ((R)-1, (R+S)-1, α-rac-1, β-rac-1) were ranked by energy. The IR spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) methods demonstrated the identity of the first two forms and their proximity to the third, while β-rac-1 is significantly different from the rest. The crystal structure of the forms (R)-1 and α-rac-1 was established by the single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) method. Preliminary information on the structure of β-rac-1 phase was obtained by the PXRD approach. Based on the information received, the experimental conditions for a successful direct resolution of racemic 1 into individual enantiomers by a preferential crystallization procedure were selected.

Abstract
One of the racemic title isomers crystallized in a centrosymmetric space group and the other spontaneously resolved into enantiomers. The crystal structures of isomeric rac-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-one (C16H14N2O3S) (1) and (2S)-2-(3-nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-one (C16H14N2O3S) (2) are reported here. While 1 crystallizes in a centrosymmetric space group, the crystal of 2 chosen for data collection has molecules only with (2S) chirality. This is the result of spontaneous resolution during crystallization, as the synthesis produces a racemic mixture. A crystal with (2R) molecules was also found in the same crystallization vial (structure factors available). The six-membered thiazine ring in both 1 and 2 displays an envelope conformation with the S atom forming the flap. The aryl rings in both structures adopt an approximate V shape with angles between their planes of 46.97 (14)° in 1 and 58.37 (10)° in 2. In both structures, the molecules form layers in the ab plane. Within such a layer in 1, one of the O atoms of the nitrophenyl group accepts a C—H⋯O hydrogen bond from the CH group at position 5 of the thiazine ring of a molecule of opposite chirality, forming chains along the a-axis direction. Each of the thiazine rings also participate in C—H⋯O bonds with the same carbon atom as above, resulting in chains along the b-axis direction, albeit of monochiral type. Adjacent layers are consolidated along the c-axis direction by pairs of parallel hydrogen bonds (C—H⋯O type) between the nitrophenyl groups of enantiomers. In 2, the two C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds contribute to chain formation along the b-axis direction. Weak edge-to-face interactions between the aryl groups of neighbouring molecules in 1, and C—H⋯π interactions between a thiazine ring CH group and a phenyl group of a neighboring molecule in 2 are also observed.
