Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric autocatalysis and amplification of enantiomeric excess of a chiral molecule
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that autocatalysis in a chemical reaction can indeed enhance a small initial enantiomeric excess of a chiral molecule, and that the resulting chirality imbalance can become overwhelming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic asymmetric induction. Highly enantioselective addition of dialkylzincs to aldehydes using chiral pyrrolidinylmethanols and their metal salts
Journal ArticleDOI
Enantioselective Automultiplication of Chiral Molecules by Asymmetric Autocatalysis
TL;DR: Small enantiomeric imbalances of chiral molecules induced by physical factors can be amplified by the present asymmetric autocatalysis.
