Demystifying the asymmetry-amplifying, autocatalytic behavior of the Soai reaction through structural, mechanistic, and computational studies

The Soai reaction has profoundly impacted chemists’ perspective of chiral symmetry breaking, absolute asymmetric synthesis and its role in the origin of biological homochirality. Herein, we describe the unprecedented observation of asymmetry amplifying autocatalysis in the alkylation of 5-(trimethyl...
