title: Discrimination of cryptochirality in chiral isotactic polystyrene by asymmetric autocatalysis.
abstract: Chiral isotactic polystyrenes induce the enantioselective addition of diisopropylzinc to pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde, affording the enantiomerically enriched pyrimidyl alkanol with the corresponding absolute configuration to that of cryptochiral polystyrenes in conjunction with asymmetric autocatalysis.
