The manipulation of the transition states of a chemical process is essential to achieve the desired selectivity. In particular, transition states of chemical reactions can be significantly modified in a confined environment. We report a catalytic reaction with remarkable amplification of stereochemical information in a confined water cage. Surprisingly, this amplification is significantly dependent on droplet size. This water-induced chirality amplification stems from the hydrophobic hydration e ...[more]
