Three L-proline modulated zirconium based MOFs denoted as UiO-66, Zr-NDC (NDC = 2,6-Naphthalene dicarboxylate) and UiO-67 were synthesized, characterized and explored as heterogeneous catalyst in diastereoselective aldol addition reactions between 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and linear/cyclic ketones. Upon L-proline modulation, chirality was introduced into these Zr-MOFs which were consequently explored as chiral catalysts for asymmetric reactions. A systematic study was conducted to look into the effect of the synthesis temperature on the modulation in each Zr-MOF. The modulated UiO-66 material synthesized at 120 degrees C exhibited full conversion and a good diastereoselectivity whereas the homogeneous L-proline catalyst showed only 61% conversion and a reversed diastereoselectivity. The catalyst exhibited no leaching of the catalytically active species and was reused for at least three additional cycles. The observed high catalytic activity is a result of the electron withdrawing nature of the Zr-node coordinated to L-proline. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
