title: Asymmetric autocatalysis triggered by oxygen isotopically chiral glycerin.
abstract: Chiral (S)- and (R)-(18)O-glycerin induces enantioselective addition of diisopropylzinc to pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde, and the subsequent asymmetric autocatalysis affords (R)- and (S)-pyrimidyl alkanol with high enantiomeric excess, respectively.
