Catalytic Asymmetric Organozinc Additions to Carbonyl Compounds
Lin Pu,Hong-Bin Yu +1 more
TL;DR: These studies on macromolecular chiral catalysts demonstrate that these materials are potentially very useful for practical applications and can also be preserved in the rigid and sterically regular polymer provided the catalytically active species of the monomer catalyst is not its aggregate.

Asymmetric catalysis at chiral metal surfaces.

Chiral selection on inorganic crystalline surfaces
Robert M. Hazen,David S. Sholl +1 more
TL;DR: Experimental and theoretical approaches to chiral selection on inorganic crystalline surfaces are reviewed — research that is poised to open this new frontier in understanding and exploiting surface-molecule interactions.

Selective adsorption of L- and D-amino acids on calcite: Implications for biochemical homochirality
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate a geochemically plausible scenario for chiral separation of amino acids by adsorption on mineral surfaces. And they demonstrate that calcite (CaCO(3)) when immersed in a racemic aspartic acid solution, display significant adsorization and chiral selectivity of d- and l-enantiomers on pairs of mirror-related crystal-growth surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Origin of Biological Homochirality
TL;DR: The single-handedness of biological molecules has fascinated scientists and laymen alike since Pasteur's first painstaking separation of the enantiomorphic crystals of a tartrate salt more than 150 yr ago.

Inorganic Solid Acids and Their Use in Acid-Catalyzed Hydrocarbon Reactions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors tried to describe perhaps the most important solid acids based on inorganic oxides, going from their preparation procedures and characterization, to their catalytic activity for a series of hydrocarbon reactions.

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
Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Sodium Chlorate Crystallization
TL;DR: This result represents an experimental demonstration of chiral symmetry breaking or total spontaneous resolution on a macroscopic level brought about by autocatalysis and competition between L- and D-crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI
On spontaneous asymmetric synthesis.
TL;DR: The kinetic equations of growth of symmetrically mutually antagonistic self-reproducing systems are considered and shown to lead to instability and it follows that spontaneous asymmetric synthesis is a natural property of life: a laboratory demonstration is not necessarily impossible.
