Dissymmetry enhancement in enantioselective synthesis of helical polydiacetylene by application of superchiral light

Superchiral light can be utilized to promote asymmetric photochemical reactions. Here the authors show that superchiral light imparts greater chiral bias to trigger asymmetric photo-polymerization reactions from initially achiral diacetylene monomers and enhanced optical dissymmetry in polydiacetyle...
