Mirror-symmetry breaking and amplification of ee in model 1. [A]0 = 1 M, k0 = 10–6 M–1·s–1, k1 = 1 M–1·s–1 and μ = 1. Curve A, [R]0 = [S]0 = 0 (no catalyst added); curve B, [R]0 = 5.05 × 10–3 M and [S]0 = 4.95 × 10–3 M (1% of catalyst, ee = 1%); curve C, [R]0 = 5.50 × 10–3 M and [S]0 = 4.50 × 10–3 M (1% of catalyst, ee = 10%); curve D, [R]0 = 4.95 × 10–2 M and [S]0 = 5.05 × 10–2 M (10% of catalyst, ee = –1%; note that because of a dilution effect by the high autocatalyst concentration the final ee does not reach –100%). For the sake of clarity data points corresponding to curves B, C, and D have been smoothed.
