Abstract
(Figure Presented) The Mannich reactions previously extensively investigated with organocatalysis of L-proline and other related small molecules were reinvestigated with detailed stereochemical analysis of their autocatalysis pathways, through employment of both the products themselves and their close structural mimics as the catalysts. These organo-autocatalytic processes function as meaningful molecular models toward understanding the origin and maintenance of homochirality under biologically relevant conditions.
