Facile synthesis of magnetic homochiral metal-organic frameworks for "enantioselective fishing".

Magnetic functionalized homochiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were prepared and applied to efficient enantioselective fishing of chiral drug intermediates. Under optimized conditions, the enantiomeric excess (ee) value as high as 85.2% was achieved for methyl phenyl sulfoxide (MPS) within 3 min.
