The evolution of homochirality from simple organic molecules can perhaps be modeled on the proline-mediated aminoxylation of aldehydes (see scheme). The observed accelerating reaction rate combined with an amplification of the enantiomeric excess of the product is attributed to an autoinductive reaction mediated by an adduct of proline and the product.
