Zusammenfassung:Mechanistic understanding of the asymmetric autocatalysis of pyrimidyl alkanol is a highly attractive and challenging topic due to its unique feature of amplification of enantiomeric excess. Circular dichroism spectroscopic analysis of this reaction allows monitoring of the structual changes of possible catalyst precursors in the solution state and shows characteristic temperature and solvent dependence. TD-DFT calculations suggest that these spectral changes are induced by a dimer-tetramer equilibrium of zinc alkoxides. Circular dichroism spectroscopic analysis of the asymmetric autocatalytic reaction of pyrimidyl alkanol reveals the dimeric and tetrameric equilibria of the alkoxide catalyst in the solution state.
