title: Spontaneous symmetry breaking during interrupted crystallization of an axially chiral amino acid derivative.
abstract: High net enantiomeric excess was observed for crystal collections obtained by crystallization of the TFA salt of a configurationally stable yet racemic axially chiral amidoamine in EtOH solution with or without stirring (up to >99% ee at < or = 15% crystallization).
