The Origin of Anion−π Autocatalysis

open access: yesJacs Au, 2023
The autocatalysis of epoxide-opening ether cyclizations on the aromatic surface of anion-π catalysts stands out as a leading example of emergent properties expected from the integration of unorthodox interactions into catalysis. A working hypothesis was proposed early on, but the mechanism of anion-π autocatalysis has never been elucidated.

Empirical Description of Chiral Autocatalysis

The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2006
The only known example of chiral autocatalysis is the alkylation of N-heterocyclic aldehydes with iPr(2)Zn (Soai reaction). The mechanism and some details of this reaction are not yet clear. An empirical formula is proposed here for the description of this chiral autocatalytic reaction.

Self-Organising Autocatalysis

Artificial Life 14: Proceedings of the Fourteenth International Conference on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems, 2014
Life on Earth must originally have arisen from abiotic chemistry. Since the details of this chemistry are unknown, we wish to understand, in general, which types of chemistry can lead to complex, life-like behaviour. Our recent work has shown that the inclusion of thermodynamic principles in simple artificial chemistry models can result in the ...

Complex Autocatalysis in Simple Chemistries

Artificial Life, 2016
Life on Earth must originally have arisen from abiotic chemistry. Since the details of this chemistry are unknown, we wish to understand, in general, which types of chemistry can lead to complex, lifelike behavior. Here we show that even very simple chemistries in the thermodynamically reversible regime can self-organize to form complex autocatalytic ...

Novel applications of physical autocatalysis

Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres, 2015
The autocatalytic self-reproduction of micelles and vesicles has been studied for several decades. These systems are vital components of certain protocell models and some models for how life may have begun from mixtures of simple chemicals. Here we discuss our recently described autocatalytic systems where self-reproducing micelles are driven by bond ...

Asymmetric Autocatalysis: Facts and Fancy

Journal of Macromolecular Science: Part A - Chemistry, 1989
Apparently no definitive experiments have ever been reported which could be defined as asymmetric autocatalysis. This paper discusses the design of several experiments which might lead to asymmetric autocatalytic reactions.

Autocatalysis, information and coding

Biosystems, 2001
Autocatalytic self-construction in macromolecular systems requires the existence of a reflexive relationship between structural components and the functional operations they perform to synthesise themselves. The possibility of reflexivity depends on formal, semiotic features of the catalytic structure-function relationship, that is, the embedding of ...

Specific Autocatalysis in Diastereoisomeric Replicators

Organic Letters, 2005
Two diastereoisomeric cycloadducts are capable of accelerating their own formation through the assembly of catalytic ternary complexes. The two cycloadducts do not have any measurable catalytic effect on the rate of formation of their diastereoisomer. [structure: see text]
