49. 5% ee [a) D. A. Singleton, L. K. Vo, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 10010-10011].
50. -5% ee is below the detection level of the instruments typically used, for example, HPLC, CD, polarimeter etc. (for recent advances in the measurement of enantiomeric excesses, see: b) M. Tsukamoto, H. B. Kagan, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2002, 344, 453-463). 2) Only after obtaining results that the asymmetric autocatalyst with S configuration affords itself with S configuration and the asymmetric autocatalyst with R configuration affords itself with R configuration one can judge that the autocatalyst works.
51. -9% ee has been employed, but we have not yet received reproducible results probably because of the effect of some unexpected and unknown chiral factor.
