Abstract
Apparently no definitive experiments have ever been reported which could be defined as asymmetric autocatalysis. This paper discusses the design of several experiments which might lead to asymmetric autocatalytic reactions. The implications of this novel type of asymmetric synthesis are evaluated.Keywords
