Abstract
Piano stool complexes have been studied over many years and found widespread applications in organic synthesis, catalysis, materials and drug development. We now report the first examples of quantitative chiroptical molecular recognition of chiral compounds through click-like η6-arene coordination with readily available half sandwich complexes. This conceptually new approach to chirality sensing is based on irreversible acetonitrile displacement of [Cp*Ru(CH3CN)3]PF6 by an aromatic target molecule, a process that is fast and complete within a few minutes at room temperature. The metal coordination coincides with characteristic circular dichroism inductions that can be easily correlated to the absolute configuration and enantiomeric ratio of the bound molecule. A relay assay that decouples the determination of the enantiomeric composition and of the total sample amount by a practical CD/UV measurement protocol was developed and successfully tested. The introduction of piano stool complexes to the chiroptical sensing realm is mechanistically unique and extends the scope of currently known methods with small-molecule probes that require the presence of amino, alcohol, carboxylate or other privileged functional groups for binding of the target compound. A broad application range including pharmaceutically relevant multifunctional molecules and the use in chromatography-free asymmetric reaction analysis are also demonstrated.

Abstract
A reaction-based optical relay sensing strategy that enables accurate determination of the concentration and enantiomeric ratio (er) of challenging chiral alcohols exhibiting stereocenters at the α-, β-, γ- or even δ-position or hard-to-detect cryptochirality arising from H/D substitution is described. This unmatched application scope is achieved with a conceptually new sensing approach by which the alcohol moiety is replaced with an optimized achiral sulfonamide chromophore to minimize the distance between the covalently attached chiroptical reporter unit and the stereogenic center in the substrate. The result is a remarkably strong, red-shifted CD induction that increases linearly with the sample er. The CD sensing part of the tandem assay is seamlessly coupled to a redox reaction with a quinone molecule to generate a characteristic UV response that is independent of the enantiopurity of the alcohol and thus allows determination of the total analyte concentration. The robustness and utility of the CD/UV relay are further verified by chromatography-free asymmetric reaction analysis with small aliquots of crude product mixtures, paving the way toward high-throughput chiral compound screening workflows which is a highly sought-after goal in the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
The analysis of the absolute configuration, enantiomeric composition, and concentration of chiral compounds are frequently encountered tasks across the chemical and health sciences. Chiroptical sensing methods can streamline this work and allow high-throughput screening with remarkable reduction of operational time and cost. During the last few years, significant methodological advances with innovative chirality sensing systems, the use of computer-generated calibration curves, machine learning assistance, and chemometric data processing, to name a few, have emerged and are now matched with commercially available multi-well plate CD readers. These developments have reframed the chirality sensing space and provide new opportunities that are of interest to a large group of chemists. This review will discuss chirality sensing strategies and applications with representative small-molecule CD sensors. Emphasis will be given to important milestones and recent advances that accelerate chiral compound analysis by outperforming traditional methods, conquer new directions, and pioneering efforts that lie at the forefront of chiroptical high-throughput screening developments. The goal is to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of the current state and a perspective of future directions of this rapidly emerging field.

Abstract
Enantiomer recognition is usually required in organic synthesis and materials and life sciences. This paper describes an enantiomer recognition method based on ternary dynamic covalent systems constructed via the complexation of chiral amines with a chiral boronate derived from 1,4-phenylenediboric acid and an L-DOPA-modified naphthalenediimide. The ternary systems aggregate into chiral assemblies driven by π-π interactions, and the chirality is transferred from the chiral amines to assemblies with high stereospecificity. Consequently, the enantiomer composition of chiral amines and the absolute configuration of the major enantiomer can be determined according to the sign of the Cotton effect of the ternary system by using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. This method offers the advantage of using the long wavelength CD signals of the boronate at around 520 nm, thereby avoiding interference with those of the carbon skeleton. This ternary system provides a novel approach to the design of enantiomer recognition systems.

Abstract
The analysis of mixtures of chiral compounds is a common task in academic and industrial laboratories typically achieved by laborious and time-consuming physical separation of the individual stereoisomers to allow interference-free quantification, for example using chiral chromatography coupled with UV detection. Current practice thus impedes high-throughput and slows down progress in countless chiral compound development projects. Here we describe a chemometric solution to this problem using a redox-responsive naphthoquinone that enables chromatography-free click chemistry sensing of challenging mixtures. The achiral probe covalently binds amino alcohols within a few minutes at room temperature and generates characteristic UVA and CDA spectra that are intentionally altered via sodium borohydride reduction to provide a second, strikingly different chiroptical data set (UVB and CDB). Chemometric partial least squares processing of the chiroptical outputs then enables spectral deconvolution and accurate determination of individual analyte concentrations. The success of this approach is demonstrated with 35 samples covering considerably varied total analyte amounts and stereoisomeric ratios. All chemicals and machine learning algorithms are readily available and can be immediately adapted by any laboratory.

Abstract
Enantiorecognition and resolution are of essential importance in many diverse areas of science. Whenever there arises a need to analyze/investigate enantiomers in different situations chromatography stands up in our minds immediately. Nevertheless, chemoselective and enantioselective recognition/discrimination (without going for separation) constitutes a different perception and requirement. The techniques using chiroptical sensing cause detection based on molecular interactions induced in different manners. Enantioselective sensing of monosaccharides in γ-cyclodextrin assembly and by diboronic acid based fluorescent sensors, application of bi-naphthol and H8 BINOL based sensors and dendrimers, metal-to-ligand charge transfer transitions in CD, exciton-coupled circular dichroism, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and enantioselective indicator displacement sensor arrays for enantioselective recognition/detection of chiral organic compounds, such as amines, amino acids/alcohols, and hydroxycarboxylic acids have been discussed in progressive manner with mechanistic explanations, wherever available. Besides, the chiroptical vs LC approach has been discussed. The present paper is focused on certain different non-chromatographic optical techniques and aims to extend an understanding and a view to consider such techniques which have been successful in selective detection, and determination of absolute configuration and enantiomeric excess, (without resorting to separation vis-à-vis LC) and that have potential use in high-throughput chiral assay and combinatorial search for asymmetric catalysts and reagents.

Abstract
Reaction discovery and catalyst screening lie at the heart of synthetic organic chemistry. While there are efforts at de novo catalyst design using computation/artificial intelligence, at its core, synthetic chemistry is an experimental science. This review overviews biomacromolecule-assisted screening methods and the follow-on elaboration of chemistry so discovered. All three types of biomacromolecules discussed─enzymes, antibodies, and nucleic acids─have been used as "sensors" to provide a readout on product chirality exploiting their native chirality. Enzymatic sensing methods yield both UV-spectrophotometric and visible, colorimetric readouts. Antibody sensors provide direct fluorescent readout upon analyte binding in some cases or provide for cat-ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay)-type readouts. DNA biomacromolecule-assisted screening allows for templation to facilitate reaction discovery, driving bimolecular reactions into a pseudo-unimolecular format. In addition, the ability to use DNA-encoded libraries permits the barcoding of reactants. All three types of biomacromolecule-based screens afford high sensitivity and selectivity. Among the chemical transformations discovered by enzymatic screening methods are the first Ni(0)-mediated asymmetric allylic amination and a new thiocyanopalladation/carbocyclization transformation in which both C-SCN and C-C bonds are fashioned sequentially. Cat-ELISA screening has identified new classes of sydnone-alkyne cycloadditions, and DNA-encoded screening has been exploited to uncover interesting oxidative Pd-mediated amido-alkyne/alkene coupling reactions.

Abstract
Enantiomeric analysis is of great significance in chemistry, chemical biology and pharmaceutical research. We herein propose a chiral 19F NMR tag containing an amino reactive NHS group to discriminate the enantiomeric amino acids under physiological conditions by NMR spectroscopy. The chiral 19F NMR tag readily forms stable amide products with the amino acids in aqueous solution. The stereospecific chemistry of enantiomeric amino acids is discriminated by a stereogenic carbon bonded with a 19F atom and is therefore decoded by the 19F reporter and manifested in the distinct 19F chemical shift. The chemical shift difference (ΔΔδ) of the chiral 19F NMR tag derived enantiomeric amino acids variants has a broad chemical shift range between -1.13 to 1.68 ppm, indicating the high sensitivity of the chiral 19F NMR tag to the stereospecific environment surrounding the individual amino acids. The distinguishable chemical shift produced by the chiral 19F NMR tag permits simultaneous discrimination and quantification of the enantiomeric amino acids in a mixture. The high fidelity of the chiral 19F NMR tag affords high-accuracy determination of the enantiomeric composition of amino acids by simple 1D NMR under physiological conditions.

Abstract
The versatility and importance of chiral compounds make it urgent to develop fast and efficient methods to detect the absolute configuration, enantiomeric excess(ee), and concentration of chiral compounds. In this study, we demonstrate that commercially available diethyl squarate can rapidly react with various types of chiral amino compounds and exhibit characteristic ultraviolet (UV) and circular dichroism (CD) signals. The UV and CD signals can determine the total concentration of the two enantiomers and ee value of the sample, respectively. The probe showed a broad substrate scope, applicable to 39 tested chiral amino compounds, including chiral amino acids, amino alcohols, and amines. Additionally, the probe accurately detected 10 samples of phenylalanine, phenylglycinol, and phenethylamine with the error range less than 8%, demonstrating the practicability of this method.

Abstract
A chromophoric bifunctional probe design that allows selective chiroptical sensing of cysteine in aqueous solution is introduced. The common need for chiral HPLC separation is eliminated which expedites and simplifies the sample analysis while reducing solvent waste. Screening of the reaction between six phenacyl bromides and the enantiomers of cysteine showed that cyclization to an unsaturated thiomorpholine scaffold coincides with characteristic UV and CD effects, in particular when the reagent carries a proximate auxochromic nitro group. The UV changes and CD inductions were successfully used for determination of the absolute configuration, enantiomeric composition and total concentration of 18 test samples. This assay is highly selective for free cysteine while other amino acids, cysteine derived small peptides and biothiols do not interfere with the chiroptical signal generation.

Abstract
The de-novo approach of mixing chirally pure reagents or Cu(II)-L-amino acid complexes in the slurry of silica gel for preparing TLC plates was reported from author's laboratory and was successful for separation and isolation of enantiomers. Using high molar absorptivity molecules, e. g., 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and cyanuric chloride, more than 38 new chiral derivatizing reagents were synthesized in our laboratory by straightforward nucleophilic substitution with simple chiral auxiliaries. Besides, (S)-naproxen, (S)-ketoprofen, and (S)-levofloxacin were used as chiral platforms. A conceptual approach using both achiral phases in chromatography for enantioseparation was also adopted. 1 H NMR and DFT based software were used to explain structures of non-covalent and covalent diastereomeric pairs and determination of configuration and separation mechanism. The methods can be easily used to determine and control enantiomeric purity with advantages over a variety of commercial chiral phases.

Abstract
(Pseudo)halogenated quinones react smoothly with chiral amines, amino alcohols, and amino acids toward push-pull conjugates with optical sensing and switching applications. The chiroptically active conjugates serve as redox switches between two reversibly interconverting states with remarkably different UV and CD signatures. Addition of sodium borohydride generates a hydroquinone derivative that is quantitatively re-oxidized to the original quinone upon exposure to air. This chiroptical quinone/hydroquinone redox switch system combines several attractive features such as simple set-up, use of inexpensive chemicals, short response time, and thermal and photochemical stability. A conceptually new sensing approach that is based on integrated chiroptical amplification and redox switching enables on-the-fly deconvolution of otherwise overlapping CD spectra and is used for quantitative er analysis of challenging samples containing constitutional isomers in varying enantiomeric compositions.
