A chiral zirconium-based catalyst, DUT-67-Pro containing 8-connected Zr6-clusters is obtained by post synthetic functionalization of Zr6O6(OH)2(TDC)4(HCOO)2(DUT-67, TDC = 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate) with the chiral monocarboxylic acid,L-proline.13C and15N solid state MAS and DNP NMR studies of DUT-67-Pro confirm the integration ofL-proline into the porous framework. The chiral MOF catalyst exhibits an excellent catalytic activity at low temperature (298 K) with an unprecedentedsyn-(S,S)-product selectivity in an asymmetric aldol addition reaction of cyclohexanone to 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (yield = 95%,ee= 96%). Comparative catalytic studies using a molecular Zr6-cluster model compound indicate the Zr6-moiety to be responsible for this inverse diastereoselectivity compared to well-establishedL-proline organocatalysis and a mechanism is proposed to explain the Zr6-cluster-mediatedsyn-selectivity. Masking residual acidic active sites in the cluster of the framework was found to be a key prerequisite to achieve the high enantioselectivity. The purely heterogeneous catalytic system based on DUT-67-Pro is highly stable and can be recycled several times.
