Abstract

When product and catalyst are the same: The chiral product 3 of an asymmetric Mannich reaction (see scheme), investigated under various experimental conditions and by calculations, is shown to act as a chiral catalyst for its own formation (autocatalysis). A generally applicable catalytic cycle is proposed to involve equilibria between hydrogen-bonded substrate–product complexes.

  • Reports by Tsogoeva of a purely organic reaction showing similar properties of autocatalysis and amplification of ee have excited the community, because the chemistry involved is much closer to what could be prebiotically plausible.

    “Most recently, reports by Tsogoeva (Mauksch et al. 2007) of a purely organic reaction showing similar properties of autocatalysis and amplification of ee (Scheme 3) have excited the community, because the chemistry involved is much closer to what could be prebiotically plausible.”

    From The Origin of Biological Homochirality (2010) · cites this paper as Mauksch et al. 2007

    In the main text (pp. 393–396), Mauksch et al. report a purely organic Mannich reaction in which the chiral product can catalyze its own formation. The reported product ee values are generally similar to or lower than the starting catalyst ee, so the paper does not establish amplification of ee. Our copy also does not assess prebiotic plausibility. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
