20. It has been reported that enantiomerically pure glycidol does not easily racemize under basic conditions. In fact, it can be produced from 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol by treatment with a base without racemization. Glycidol has been used as starting material for the synthesis of chiral oxathiazolidines under basic conditions and long times of heating. Kasai, N.; Suzuki, T.; Furukawa, Y. J. Mol. Catal.

31. The phenomenon observed for our systems does not fit into the "sergeant and soldiers" concept, which has been coined to indicate chiral amplification arising from the presence of only a small ratio of chiral units versus achiral units in linear polymers: (a) Green, M.
