This memory of chirality is suggested to occur by transfer of chirality from a stereocenter to an axis, then from the axis back to a new stereocenter. © 2012 Published by NRC Research Press. date: 2013-01-02 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: text/plain language: en rights: attached identifier: http://d-scholarship-dev.library.pitt.edu/22253/1/licence.txt identifier: Sasmal, A and Taniguchi, T and Wipf, P and Curran, DP (2013) Memory of chirality in rebound cyclizations of α-amide radicals.
