Novel Chiral Switching Ligands for Enantioselective Asymmetric Reductions of Prochiral Ketones
The newly developed chiral ligands 1 and 4 show opposite enantioselectivity in the asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones resulting in the production of either enantiomer depending on the metal complex with high enantiomeric excess.

Inconclusive evidence for nonterrestrial isoleucine enantiomeric excesses in primitive meteorites [PDF]
Pizzarello et al. (1) recently described the soluble organic content of eight Antarctic Renazzo-type (CR) carbonaceous chondrites and reported large enantiomeric excesses (ee) of l-isoleucine and d-alloisoleucine. The reported values of ee decrease with inferred increases in aqueous alteration.

Chiral symmetry breaking and information accumulation in pre-biological protocell evolution
We study a linear evolutionary model based on the two-dimensional distribution of protocells by total enantiomeric excess and the amount of stored information, which they can pass from generation to generation, and without any mutual inhibition.

Experimental mechanisms that yield the growth of homochiral copolymers over their heterochiral counterparts have been advocated by Lahav and co-workers. These chiral amplification mechanisms proceed through racemic {\beta}-sheet-controlled polymerization

Stereo block copolymers of L- and D-lactides [PDF]
Sequential diblock copolymers composed of L- and D-lactic acid residues were synthesized through a living ring-opening polymerization of L- and D-lactide initiated by aluminium tris(2-propanolate).

Highly Efficient Lipase-Catalyzed Kinetic Resolution of Chiral Amines
The lipase Candida antarctica catalyzes the enantioselective acetylation of chiral primary amines, kinetic resolution leading to an enantiomeric excess (ee) of 90–98%.

A generalized autocatalytic model for chiral polymerization is investigated in detail. Apart from enantiomeric cross-inhibition, the model allows for the autogenic (non-catalytic) formation of left and right-handed monomers from a substrate with reaction

Temporary mirror symmetry breaking and chiral excursions in open and closed systems [PDF]
The reversible Frank model is capable of amplifying the initial small statistical deviations from the idealized racemic composition. This temporary amplification can be interpreted as a chiral excursion in a dynamic phase space.

Accurate Determination of Enantiomeric Excess Using Raman Optical Activity
The optical purity of a chiral sample is of particular importance to the analytical chemistry and pharmaceutical industries. In recent years, the vibrational optical activity (VOA) has become established as a sensitive and nondestructive technique for the analysis of chiral molecules in solution. However, the relatively limited accuracy in the range of

One pot ‘click’ reactions: tandem enantioselective biocatalytic epoxide ring opening and [3+2] azide alkyne cycloaddition [PDF]
Halohydrin dehalogenase (HheC) can perform enantioselective azidolysis of aromatic epoxides to 1,2-azido alcohols which are subsequently ligated to alkynes producing chiral hydroxy triazoles in a one-pot procedure with excellent enantiomeric excess.
