Absolute asymmetric synthesis in asymmetric autocatalysis and kinetic isotope effect studies of organometallic reactions /

Absolute asymmetric synthesis is the formation of optically active materials from achiral starting materials in the absence of optically active reagents or catalysts. This would appear to break a widely assumed rule of chemistry - that optically active products can only arise in the presence of opt...
