Abstract
Electrocatalytic synthesis of amino acids provides a promising green and efficient pathway to manufacture the basic substances of life. Herein, reaction of 2,5-perfluroalkyl-terepthalohydrazide and tris(4-µ2 -O-carboxaldehyde-pyrazolato-N, N')-tricopper affords a crystalline trinuclear copper cluster-containing organic framework, named F-Cu3 -OF. Incorporation of abundant hydrophobic perfluroalkyl groups inside the channels of F-Cu3 -OF is revealed to successfully suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction via preventing H+ cation with large polarity from the framework of F-Cu3 -OF and in turn increasing the adsorption of other substrates with relatively small polarity like NO3 - and keto acids on the active sites. The copper atoms with short distance in the trinuclear copper clusters of F-Cu3 -OF enable simultaneous activization of NO3 - and keto acids, facilitating the following synergistic and efficient C─N coupling on the basis of in situ spectroscopic investigations together with theoretical calculation. Combination of these effects leads to efficient electroproduction of various amino acids including glycine, alanine, leucine, valine, and phenylalanine from NO3 - and keto acids with a Faraday efficiency of 42%-71% and a yield of 187-957 µmol cm-2 h-1 , representing the thus far best performance. This work shall be helpful for developing economical, eco-friendly, and high-efficiency strategy for the production of amino acids and other life substances.

Abstract
Related to absolute asymmetric synthesis, a stereospecific reaction at the solid/solid interface arising from crystal chirality of the achiral or racemic substrates has not yet been reported. Here, we demonstrate the asymmetric Strecker-type solid/solid reaction between the chiral crystal of a racemic cyanohydrin (kryptoracemate) and the achiral crystal of an ammonium salt to afford highly enantioenriched α-aminonitrile in combination with amplification of chirality. rac-Cyanohydrin provides its chiral surface as a reactive site and the reaction proceeds with dissociation of cyanohydrin; thus, an asymmetric Strecker-type reaction takes place at the interface of the substrate crystals. Strecker synthesis coupled with cyanohydrin synthesis offers a credible abiotic synthesis mechanism of α-amino acids and α-hydroxy acids. For the first time, stereochemical relationship has been found between the two chiral intermediates, aminonitrile and cyanohydrin, which are in equilibrium in the synthesis mechanism.

Abstract
The single chirality of biological molecules in terrestrial biology raises more questions than certitudes about its origin. The emergence of biological homochirality (BH) and its connection with the appearance of life have elicited a large number of theories related to the generation, amplification and preservation of a chiral bias in molecules of life under prebiotically relevant conditions. However, a global scenario is still lacking. Here, the possibility of inducing a significant chiral bias "from scratch", i.e. in the absence of pre-existing enantiomerically-enriched chemical species, will be considered first. It includes phenomena that are inherent to the nature of matter itself, such as the infinitesimal energy difference between enantiomers as a result of violation of parity in certain fundamental interactions, and physicochemical processes related to interactions between chiral organic molecules and physical fields, polarized particles, polarized spins and chiral surfaces. The spontaneous emergence of chirality in the absence of detectable chiral physical and chemical sources has recently undergone significant advances thanks to the deracemization of conglomerates through Viedma ripening and asymmetric auto-catalysis with the Soai reaction. All these phenomena are commonly discussed as plausible sources of asymmetry under prebiotic conditions and are potentially accountable for the primeval chiral bias in molecules of life. Then, several scenarios will be discussed that are aimed to reflect the different debates about the emergence of BH: extra-terrestrial or terrestrial origin (where?), nature of the mechanisms leading to the propagation and enhancement of the primeval chiral bias (how?) and temporal sequence between chemical homochirality, BH and life emergence (when?). Intense and ongoing theories regarding the emergence of optically pure molecules at different moments of the evolution process towards life, i.e. at the levels of building blocks of Life, of the instructed or functional polymers, or even later at the stage of more elaborated chemical systems, will be critically discussed. The underlying principles and the experimental evidence will be commented for each scenario with particular attention on those leading to the induction and enhancement of enantiomeric excesses in proteinogenic amino acids, natural sugars, and their intermediates or derivatives. The aim of this review is to propose an updated and timely synopsis in order to stimulate new efforts in this interdisciplinary field.

Abstract
Chirality is a central feature in the evolution of biological systems, but the reason for biology’s strong preference for specific chiralities of amino acids, sugars, and other molecules remains a controversial and unanswered question in origins of life research. Biological polymers tend toward homochiral systems, which favor the incorporation of a single enantiomer (molecules with a specific chiral configuration) over the other. There have been numerous investigations into the processes that preferentially enrich one enantiomer to understand the evolution of an early, racemic, prebiotic organic world. Chirality can also be a property of minerals; their interaction with chiral organics is important for assessing how post-depositional alteration processes could affect the stereochemical configuration of simple and complex organic molecules. In this paper, we review the properties of organic compounds and minerals as well as the physical, chemical, and geological processes that affect organic and mineral chirality during the preservation and detection of organic compounds. We provide perspectives and discussions on the reactions and analytical techniques that can be performed in the laboratory, and comment on the state of knowledge of flight-capable technologies in current and future planetary missions, with a focus on organics analysis and life detection.

Abstract
Enantiopure amino acids are of particular interest in the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. Here, we reported a multi-enzyme cascade for efficient production of L-phenylglycine (L-Phg) from biobased L-phenylalanine (L-Phe). We first attempted to engineer Escherichia coli for expressing L-amino acid deaminase (LAAD) from Proteus mirabilis, hydroxymandelate synthase (HmaS) from Amycolatopsis orientalis, (S)-mandelate dehydrogenase (SMDH) from Pseudomonas putida, the endogenous aminotransferase (AT) encoded by ilvE and L-glutamate dehydrogenase (GluDH) from E. coli. However, 10 mM L-Phe only afforded the synthesis of 7.21 ± 0.15 mM L-Phg. The accumulation of benzoylformic acid suggested that the transamination step might be rate-limiting. We next used leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH) from Bacillus cereus to bypass the use of L-glutamate as amine donor, and 40 mM L-Phe gave 39.97 ± 3.84 mM (6.04 ± 0.58 g/L) L-Phg, reaching 99.9% conversion. In summary, this work demonstrated a concise four-step enzymatic cascade for the L-Phg synthesis from biobased L-Phe, with a potential for future industrial applications.

Abstract
Chemical processes are usually catalytic transformations. The use of catalytic reagents can reduce the reaction temperature, decrease reagent-based waste, and enhance the selectivity of a reaction potentially avoiding unwanted side reactions leading to green technology. Chemical processes are also frequently based on multicomponent reactions (MCRs) that possess evident improvements over multistep processes. Both MCRs and catalysis tools are the most valuable principles of green chemistry. Among diverse MCRs, the three-component Strecker reaction (S-3-CR) is a particular transformation conducive to the formation of valuable bifunctional building blocks (α-amino nitriles) in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, drug research, and organic materials science. To be a practical synthetic tool, the S-3-CR must be achieved using alternative energy input systems, safe reaction media, and effective catalysts. These latter reagents are now deeply associated with nanoscience and nanocatalysis. Continuously developed, nanostructured silicate catalysts symbolize green pathways in our quest to attain sustainability. Studying and developing nanocatalyzed S-3-CR condensations as an important model will be suitable for achieving the current green mission. This critical review aims to highlight the advances in the development of nanostructured catalysts for technologically important Strecker-type reactions and to analyze this progress from the viewpoint of green and sustainable chemistry. The innovations in the development of nanostructured silicate catalysts for Strecker reactions are analyzed discussing the advantages and drawbacks of existing protocols based on the use of nanocatalytic systems for α-amino nitrile formation.![]()

Abstract
Many achiral organic compounds become chiral by an isotopic substitution of one of the enantiotopic moieties in their structures. Although spectroscopic methods can recognize the molecular chirality due to an isotopic substitution, the effects of isotopically chiral compounds in enantioselective reactions have remained unsolved because the small chirality arises only from the difference between the number of neutrons in the atomic nuclei. The difference between the diastereomeric isotopomers of reactive sources should be the key to these effects. However, the energy difference between them is difficult to calculate, even using present computational methods, and differences in physical properties have not yet been reported. Here, we demonstrate that the small energy difference between the diastereomeric isotopomers at the molecular level can be enhanced to appear as a solubility difference between the diastereomeric (2H/1H) isotopomers of α-aminonitriles, synthesized from an isotopically chiral amine, achiral aldehyde, and HCN. This small, but measurable, difference induces the chiral (d/l) imbalance in the suspended α-aminonitrile; therefore, a second enhancement in the solid-state chirality proceeds to afford a highly stereoimproved aminonitrile (>99% selectivity) whose handedness arises completely from the excess enantiomer of isotopically chiral amine, even in a low enantiomeric excess and low deuterium-labeling ratio. Because α-aminonitriles can be hydrolyzed to chiral α-amino acids with the removal of an isotope-labeling moiety, the current sequence of reactions represents a highly enantioselective Strecker amino acid synthesis induced by the chiral hydrogen (2H/1H) isotopomer. Thus, hydrogen isotopic chirality links directly with the homochirality of α-amino acids via a double enhancement of α-aminonitrile, the chiral intermediate of a proposed prebiotic mechanism.

Abstract
Molecular adsorption on a surface is a unique way to break the mirror-symmetry of prochiral molecules, and therefore the use of chiral surfaces is an effective strategy for achieving highly selective chiral separation and asymmetric catalytic reactions based on molecular adsorption with high diastereoselectivity. We have previously reported a porous metal-macrocycle framework (MMF) with an enantiomeric pair of chiral pore-surfaces derived from Pd-helical macrocycles as the ingredients of the framework. Aiming at applying the chiral pore-surface of the MMF to asymmetric reactions and chiral separation, herein we propose a strategy to utilize one of the enantiomerically paired pore-surfaces as a homochiral pore-surface with the aid of chiral auxiliaries that can block only one side of the enantiomeric pore-surfaces in a site-selective manner. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that a chiral auxiliary, (1R)- or (1S)-1-(3-chlorophenyl)ethanol, and a prochiral guest molecule, 2'-hydroxyacetophenone, were cooperatively arranged in each pore unit so that the prochiral guest molecule can face-selectively bind to the homochiral pore-surface.

Abstract
Without using chiral sources, the Strecker reaction of achiral hydrogen cyanide, p-tolualdehyde and benzhydrylamine gave enantioenriched l- or d-N-benzhydryl-α-(p-tolyl)glycine nitriles with up to >99% ee in a mixed solvent of water and methanol. Therefore, total spontaneous resolution of α-aminonitriles could occur through a prebiotic mechanism of α-amino acid synthesis. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the repetition of partial dissolution and crystallization of a suspended conglomerate of aminonitrile under solution-phase racemization could generate the enantiomeric imbalance to afford, in combination with the amplification of chirality, an enantioenriched product in every case. Among the 73 experiments that were carried out, d- and l-enriched isomers occurred 36 and 37 times, respectively. This stochastic behavior, under achiral or racemic starting conditions, meets the requirements of the spontaneous absolute asymmetric Strecker synthesis. The implications of the present results for the origin of chirality of α-amino acids are discussed.

Abstract
The Strecker reaction is broadly used for the preparation of α-amino acids. However, control of enantioselectivity remains challenging. We here couple the Strecker reaction to Viedma ripening for the absolute asymmetric synthesis of highly sterically hindered α-amino acids. As proof-of-principle, the enantiomerically pure α-amino acids tert-leucine and α-(1-adamantyl)glycine were obtained.

Abstract
Amino esters and amino nitriles can promote the selective formation of 2-deoxy-d-ribose from materials present in interstellar ices. The use of amino nitriles suggests the possibility that carbohydrates may have existed before amino acids on the prebiotic Earth.
