β¦ Synopsis
How homochiral amino acids and sugars arose out of a presumably prochiral prebiotic environment is a puzzling question, [1] to which many answers have been proposed: for example, absolute asymmetric synthesis with circularly polarized light, photoreactions in chiral crystals, and asymmetric automultiplication with asymmetric autocatalysis, as exemplified by the recent work of Soai et al. [2] There are reports describing a connection between the chirality of amino acids and sugars: Amplification of ee was observed in the aaminoxylation of an aldehyde using proline as catalyst to generate a key intermediate of sugars, [3] while amino acids

The molecular and crystal structure of 3-nitropyrazole was determined by X-ray analysis. The triclinic unit cell contains 12 molecules which form four hydrogen-bonded (N-Hβ’β’β’N) trimers. Each trimer comprises of pseudo-ring in a flattened envelope distorted towards a chair conformation. The crystal p
A change in the constitution of the tetracationic cyclophane components (comprised of two paraquat residues bridged by either m-or p-phenylene rings) in [2]catenanes, where the other macrocyclic components are polyethers (incorporating two p-electronrich rings, such as 1,4-dioxybenzene or 1,5-dioxyn
