In 1995, Soai Kenso published a breakthrough experiment using pyrimidyl alcohol to achieve asymmetric autocatalysis, in which the starting enantiomeric excess of one isomer was only 2%, and by the end of the reaction the enantiomeric excess had risen to 87%.

UnverifiedThe Soai reaction is the first and to date most exemplary experimental demonstration of asymmetric autocatalysis.70% similarUnverifiedKagan experimentally confirmed the nonlinear effect model in a sulfide oxidation reaction, and the relevant findings were published in 1986.66% similarUnverifiedIn 1953, Charles Frank proposed a model specifying three conditions: the reaction requires a chiral catalyst, the generation of one mirror-image molecule is enhanced while the other is suppressed, and the reaction can generate its own catalyst (autocatalysis).63% similarUnverifiedIn 1986, Kagan published findings on nonlinear effects, discovering that product ratios do not change linearly with the catalyst but follow a curve, which can significantly increase the proportion of the target mirror-image molecule.63% similarUnverifiedThe 1953 Miller–Urey experiment successfully synthesized amino acids in the laboratory by simulating primitive atmospheric conditions, providing experimental support for the primordial soup hypothesis.61% similar
