Novel Chiral Switching Ligands for Enantioselective Asymmetric Reductions of Prochiral Ketones

open access: yesMolecules, 2001
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]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012
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

open access: yesScientific Reports
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.

Models for Mirror Symmetry Breaking via {\beta}-Sheet-Controlled Copolymerization: (i) Mass Balance and (ii) Probabilistic Treatment

open access: yes, 2012
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]

open access: yes, 1990
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

open access: yesCHIMIA, 1994
The lipase Candida antarctica catalyzes the enantioselective acetylation of chiral primary amines, kinetic resolution leading to an enantiomeric excess (ee) of 90–98%.

An Extended Model for the Evolution of Prebiotic Homochirality: A Bottom-Up Approach to the Origin of Life

open access: yes, 2008
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]

open access: yes, 2011
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

open access: yesSymmetry, 2022
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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.
