Abstract:
Chiral amnesia : Experimental results demonstrate that the double solubility rule indeed holds true for the solution‐phase enantiomers of a conglomerate‐forming solid under fast‐racemizing conditions. There is neither experimental evidence for chiral recognition via solution‐phase clusters nor a need to invoke them to produce a lucid explanation of the compelling model for the evolution of solid‐phase homochirality first communicated by Viedma.
