Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Organic Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Non-linear effects were observed in acyclic amino acid-catalyzed direct asymmetric intermolecular aldol reactions. The non-linear effects are due to the equilibrium solid-liquid phase behavior of amino acids. The results suggest that the phase behavior of amino acids linked to asymmetric catalysis may have implications to the evolution of homochirality. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
