Spontaneous absolute asymmetric synthesis promoted by achiral amines in conjunction with asymmetric autocatalysis

2010 
The origin of homochirality of organic compounds such as L-amino acids and D-sugars have intrigued many scientists, and several hypotheses regarding its homochirality have been proposed. According to the statistical theory, small fluctuations in the ratio of the two enantiomers are present in a racemic mixture obtained from the reaction of achiral molecules.
