Two homochiral organocatalytic MOMs were prepared using tetra- and octa-carboxylate ligands, respectively. The nanoscopic channels in these MOMs are lined by organonocatalytic chiral phosphoric acid derivatives of binol and ocMOM-1 exhibited improved enantioselectivity over the parent ligand in the context of transfer hydrogenation of a series of benzoxazines.
