Self-reproducing micelles coupled to a secondary catalyst

We report a physical autocatalytic system where micelles self-reproduce via a copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition in a biphasic reaction mixture. The coupling of a secondary catalyst to an autocatalytic cycle opens up new opportunities to control and probe autocatalytic processes.
