London Disperse Interactions Assist Chiral Induction in the Soai Autoamplifying Reaction Provoked by 1- and 2-Aza[6]helicenes by Roman V. Zonov, Ilya D. Gridnev

“…In this paper, DFT computations revealed the mechanisms of the asymmetric catalytic reactions of diisopropylzinc with pyrimidylaldehyde catalyzed by 1- and 2-aza[6]helicenes, which make them effective inductors of the autocatalytic chiral amplification Soai reaction. …”

Role of Asymmetric Autocatalysis in the Elucidation of Origins of Homochirality of Organic Compounds by Kenso Soai, Tsuneomi Kawasaki, Arimasa Matsumoto

“…Pyrimidyl alkanol and related compounds were found to be asymmetric autocatalysts in the enantioselective addition of diisopropylzinc to pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde and related aldehydes. …”
