We investigated the reaction between 2-methoxyphenyl bromide and 2-methoxyphenylboronic acid, catalyzed by a series of Pd-loaded chiral optical (<sub>D</sub>- or <sub>L</sub>-) and racemic (<sub>DL</sub>-) silica/polyethyleneimine (PEI) systems, which produced crystalline 2,2′-dimethoxybiphenyl (DMB). The silica used as a catalyst was prepared using our previously established method, in which chirality was imparted to the silica through catalytic templates composed of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and tartaric acid. Both enantiopure (<sub>D</sub>- or <sub>L</sub>-; 100% <i>ee</i>) and racemic (<sub>DL</sub>-; 0% <i>ee</i>) tartaric acid-mediated silica, after tartaric acid removal and palladium (Pd) loading, exhibited similar catalytic activities, leading to the quantitative precipitation of 2,2′-dimethoxybiphenyl in a water/ethanol (1:1 by volume) medium. Interestingly, the 2,2′-dimethoxybiphenyl crystals formed and ripened in the presence of Pd-loaded chiral <sub>D</sub>- and <sub>L</sub>-silica/PEI exhibited octahedral morphology and displayed remarkable chiroptical activity with a mirror-image relationship.
