Abstract
Within pharmaceutical research, ensuring the enantiomeric purity of chiral compounds is critical. Specifically, chiral amines are a crucial category of compounds, due to their extensive therapeutic uses. However, the enantiomeric analysis of these compounds, particularly those with significant steric hindrance, remains a challenge. To address this issue, our research introduces a novel chiral 19F-tagged NNO palladium pincer probe, strategically engineered with an open binding site to accommodate bulky amines. This probe facilitates the enantiodifferentiation of such amines, as evidenced by the distinct 19F NMR signals generated by the enantiomers. Moreover, our findings highlight the probe's applicability in the chiral discrimination of various psychoactive substances, underscoring its potential for the identification of illegal stimulant use and contributing to forensic investigations.

Abstract
Metabolite profiling serves as a powerful tool that advances our understanding of biological systems, disease mechanisms, and environmental interactions. In this study, we present an approach employing 19F-nuclear magnetic resonance (19F NMR) spectroscopy for plasma amine profiling. This method utilizes a highly efficient and reliable fluorine-labeling reagent, 3,5-difluorosalicylaldehyde, which effectively emulates pyridoxal phosphate, facilitating the formation of Schiff base compounds with primary amines. The fluorine labeling allows for distinct resolution of 19F NMR signals from amine mixtures, leading to precise identification and quantification of amine metabolites in human plasma.

Abstract
Chiral aliphatic amine compounds exhibit a range of physiological activities, making them highly sought-after in the pharmaceutical industry and biological research. One notable obstacle in studying these compounds stems from the pronounced steric hindrance surrounding the nitrogen atom. This characteristic often leads to a weak affinity of acyclic secondary amines for molecular probes, making their chiral discrimination intricate. In response to this challenge, our research has unveiled a novel 19F-labeled probe adept at recognizing and distinguishing between enantiomers of these acyclic secondary amines. By strategically incorporating a single fluorine atom as the 19F label, we have managed to diminish the steric hindrance at the binding site. This alteration bolsters the probe's affinity toward bulkier analytes. As a testament to its effectiveness, we have successfully employed our probe in the chiral analysis of relevant pharmaceuticals, accurately determining their enantiocomposition.

Abstract
Chiral discrimination of monosaccharides holds significant importance, especially given the growing interest of the pharmaceutical industry in their utilization. However, the majority of existing methods has predominantly centered around chromatographic techniques. In this study, we introduce a 19F NMR-based comprehensive approach for chiral analysis specifically tailored for 15 pairs of aldoses. This technique involves employing sugar hydrazones containing fluorine in combination with chiral octahedral gallium and scandium complexes. By utilizing highly sensitive 19F NMR spectroscopy, the fluorine label in the sugar hydrazone enables accurate differentiation between d and l enantiomers. The efficiency of the newly developed method was demonstrated through its successful application in both quantitative and qualitative analyses of mixtures containing various monosaccharides.

Abstract
Chiral amino-group compounds are of significance for human health, such as biogenic amino acids (AAs), dipeptides, and even various drugs. Enantiospecific discrimination of these chiral compounds is vital in diagnosing diseases, identifying pathological biomarkers and enhancing pharmaceutical chemistry research. Here, we report a simple and rapid 19F NMR-based strategy to differentiate chiral AAs, dipeptides, and amines, that were derivatized with (R)-2-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxyacetic acid ((R)-2FHA). As a result, 19 proteinogenic AAs (37 isomers) as well as Gly could be concurrently resolved. Moreover, various mirror-image dipeptides, such as Ser-His, Leu-Leu, and Ala-Ala, were commendably recognized. Intriguingly, we found that the absolute configuration of AAs in the N-terminus of dipeptides decided the relative 19F chemical shifts between two enantiomers. Besides, the ability of this method for enantiodiscrimination was further demonstrated by non-AA amines, including aromatic and aliphatic amines, and even amines having chiral centers several carbons away from the amino-group. The structurally similar antibiotics, amoxicillin and ampicillin, were well discriminated. Furthermore, this method accurately determines the de or dr values of non-racemic mixtures. Therefore, our strategy provides an effective approach for 19F NMR-based enantiodiscrimination and diastereomeric purity determination of amino-group compounds.

Abstract
Visualization and quantification of important biomolecules like glutathione (GSH) in live cells are highly important. The existing methods are mostly from optical detection and lack of atomic resolution on the activity of GSH. Here, we present a sensitive 19F-NMR method to quantify real-time variations of GSH in live cells in a reversible manner. This NMR method prevents extracellular leakage and irreversible consumption of intracellular GSH during the detection. The high performance of the reactive 19F-probe enables accurate determination of intracellular GSH content at atomic resolution, from which information on GSH variations with respect to the extracellular and intracellular conditions can be inferred. In addition, we demonstrate the applicability of this NMR method to quantify the GSH levels between different live cell lines and to disclose the distinct differences between the intracellular environment and cell lysates. We foresee the application of 19F-NMR to monitor real-time variations of intracellular GSH levels in relation to GSH-involved central cellular processes.

Abstract
Methods to rapidly detect and differentiate chiral N-heterocyclic compounds become increasingly important owing to the widespread application of N-heterocycles in drug discovery and materials science. We herein report a 19F NMR-based chemosensing approach for the prompt enantioanalysis of various N-heterocycles, where the dynamic binding between the analytes and a chiral 19F-labeled palladium probe create characteristic 19F NMR signals assignable to each enantiomer. The open binding site of the probe allows the effective recognition of bulky analytes that are otherwise difficult to detect. The chirality center distal to the binding site is found sufficient for the probe to discriminate the stereoconfiguration of the analyte. The utility of the method in the screening of reaction conditions for the asymmetric synthesis of lansoprazole is demonstrated.

Abstract
Diosgenin and its derivatives have proved a huge importance in diverse biological activities. The optimized production of the diastereoisomers of the epoxide of diosgenin acetate by means of mCPBA is reported herein. This transformation had a previous design of experiments using the application of a statistical factorial DoE of 4 parameters (nk), where one variable is varied at a time, while others stay constant. The temperature showed the greatest effect on the reaction yield; so, at 298 K the diastereomeric ratio 3:1 of α and β-epoxides, normally found, was raised to 1:1. Time was the second significant variable, but due to its high correlation with temperature, 30 minutes were required for a global 90% conversion at least. These diastereoisomers were characterized both isolated and in the mixtures obtained, to determine their antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiproliferative activity, finding a low antioxidant capacity by DPPH, but antimicrobial activity at the level of penicillin in gram negative bacteria by 1β better to 1α. The antiproliferative capacity was higher for diastereoisomer β, agreeing with the proportion of the mixture obtained by different conditions, increasing this in relation to the amount of this diastereoisomer present in hormone-dependent cancer cell lines such as Hela, PC-3 and MCF-7, with 10.0 µM obtained values of viability at 21.8 %, 35.8 % and 12.3 % respectively. DoE optimization allows to manipulate the ratio between diastereoisomers with the minimum number of experiments, extending the analysis of the effect of the ratio between diastereoisomers and the in silico potential as well as the biological activity.

Abstract
Chirality is a fundamental property of nature and an essential element of the life process. As the biological activities, metabolic pathways, and toxicity of individual enantiomers are often varied, methods to rapidly and accurately discriminate chiral analytes are in great demand. Here, we report a 19F-labeled gallium-based probe for the enantiodifferentiation of chiral monoamines, diamines, amino alcohols, amino acids, and N-heterocycles. A comparison between the new gallium-based probe and the previously developed aluminum aminotrisphenolate complex was performed. It was revealed that the gallium metal center displays a much stronger affinity toward the amino group compared to the hydroxy group, thereby producing simplified 19F NMR signals for analytes with multiple Lewis basic sites. For sterically bulky analyte, the replacement of the aluminum with gallium is envisioned to expand the binding pocket of the probe to allow different binding models to interconvert rapidly. This feature is important to the creation of easily interpretable 19F signals corresponding to each enantiomer. It is further demonstrated that the gallium-based probe is suitable for the assessment of the enantiomeric excess values of the crude products obtained in asymmetric reactions without the need for purification.

Abstract
Chiral transition metal oxides with tunable structures and multiple physicochemical features have been increasingly applied for chiral sensing and detection. In this work, chiral zinc oxide (ZnO) was first applied as selector to construct quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor for enantioselective recognition of amino acids. The chiral ZnO was prepared by a methionine-induced self-assembly strategy and its high topological chirality was confirmed by several techniques such as circular dichroism spectrum. The chiral discrimination factors were calculated by frequency shifts in response to aspartic acid, phenylalanine, lysine and arginine on L-ZnO surface, achieving 1.89 ± 0.04, 1.76 ± 0.11, 1.66 ± 0.07 and 1.54 ± 0.09, respectively. Notably, L-enantiomers preferred stronger absorptions on L-ZnO surface as compared to D-forms. It was further found that this sensor was appropriate for quantitative analysis and enantiomer excess analysis and adsorption kinetics study. Furthermore, molecular docking revealed the recognition mechanism, where chiral distinction was caused by the different steric interactions between enantiomers and chiral ZnO. This method enjoyed merits of high enantioselectivity, simple preparation and low cost, offering newly chiral sensing method for other molecules.

High performance in chiral recognition by a reactive 19F-tag was demonstrated for a variety of enantiomers. The analytes with up to five flexible covalent bonds from the chiral center can be discriminated by a sensitive chiral reporter manifested in the 19F-NMR spectrum. Simultaneous identification of chiral amines in a mixture and high accuracy ee determination were achieved.
