title: Asymmetric Induction by a Nitrogen14N/15N Isotopomer in Conjunction with Asymmetric Autocatalysis.
abstract: Chirality arising from isotope substitution, especially with atoms heavier than the hydrogen isotopes, is usually not considered a source of chirality in a chemical reaction. An N2,N2,N3,N3-tetramethyl-2,3-butanediamine containing nitrogen (14N/15N) isotope chirality was synthesized and it was revealed that this isotopically chiral diamine compound acts as a chiral initiator for asymmetric autocatalysis.
