Inclusion compounds of a dipeptide, (S)-threonyl-(S)-phenylglycine (Thr-Phg), with several aliphatic alcohols were easily prepared by grinding them in a mortar. Thr-Phg molecules arranged in antiparallel to construct a sheet, and guest alcohols were accommodated in a chiral pocket between the sheets. 3-Butyn-2-ol and 2-butanol were included with moderate enantioselectivity, 57% ee (R) and 49% ee (R), respectively. The role of the hydroxy group of Thr-Phg is not only to construct the unique pocket but also to capture guest alcohols by hydrogen bonding. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

palladium-catalyzed cross-couplingreactions of an enantioenriched, alpha-substituted, allylic silanolate salt with aromatic bromides has been investigated. The allylic silanolate salt was prepared in high geometrical (Z/E, 94:6) and high enantiomeric (94:6 er) purity by a copper-catalyzed S(N)2' reaction of a resolved allylic carbamate. Eight different aromatic bromides underwent cross-coupling with excellent
