Color vision : The enantiomeric excess of the products of an enantioselective catalytic reaction can be determined by a liquid‐crystal‐based color test. After a simple workup, doping of the reaction product into a liquid crystal affords brightly colored LC phases, with colors depending on the enantiomeric excess of the product (see picture).
