Abstract

Point chirality originates from having four different substituents bonded to a central atom to give nonplanar molecules with nonsuperimposable mirror images.[1] The induction of point chirality in molecular systems is of particular interest in connection with the origin of homochirality in nature, as seen in amino acids.[2–4] Our interest is to propose a new concept for the introduction of point chirality and also to understand how small differences ...
