UnverifiedHenri B. Kagan revealed a nonlinear effect: under certain conditions, a tiny difference in catalyst chirality can have a huge impact on the proportion of enantiomers in the product.73% similarUnverifiedKagan and Soai were recognized for the discovery of nonlinear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis.73% similarUnverifiedSoai discovered the asymmetric autocatalytic reaction—the product itself can catalyze its own formation, achieving a chiral amplification effect, such that even if the ratio of the two enantiomers deviates only slightly at the start, the reaction can spontaneously amplify the deviation to nearly a single enantiomer.72% similarUnverifiedThe Soai reaction is the first and to date most exemplary experimental demonstration of asymmetric autocatalysis.68% similarUnverifiedTraditional asymmetric catalysis theory holds that the chiral purity of the catalyst and the enantiomeric excess (ee value) of the product are related linearly.68% similar
