Advances in Asymmetric Autocatalysis and Related Topics provides
various viewpoints on the important developments in asymmetric
autocatalysis that have occurred in the past few years, also
including brand new information in the field. Asymmetric
autocatalysis is a chemical reaction which leads from achiral
starting materials to chiral products, and in which the product
accelerates its own formation reaction (conventional catalysis) and
promotes the prevalence of its own chiral configuration (asymmetric
induction). The combination of these two effects in the same
reaction was unprecedented before 1995 when it was first described
by Kenso SOAI at the Tokyo University of Science. Since then,
several new combinations of this effect have been found, most
intriguingly the possibility of absolute asymmetric synthesis,
which is the spontaneous formation of the excess of one of the
enantiomers of the product, a dream of organic chemists for more
than a century. The book contains expert-contributed chapters that
describe the most exciting recent developments in the field of the
Soai reaction and in related topics, ranging from mechanistic
studies and theoretical research, to very practical problems in
chiral syntheses and products.
