19. The reproducibility of very low asymmetric inductions described in earlier reports (refs 18a,b) on the asymmetric reactions in the presence of quartz was disproved in later careful experiments by Amariglio (ref 18c). Asymmetric adsorption of a radioactive chiral compound on quartz detected by radioactivity has been a well-accepted example (ref 19). (a) Schwab, G. M.; Rudolph, L. Naturwissenschaften 1932, 20, 363.
