Description:

(abstract)

A racemic mixture of N-Fmoc-protected phenylalanine or tryptophan was found to spontaneously afford a gel enriched in either L- or D-form of their enantiomers stochastically. Homochiral selective secondary nucleation, promoted by the choice of solvent or stirring, was suggested as the key process for the observed phenomenon.
