Voilà, optical activity : Both enantiomers of 1‐chloroindene have been synthesized in high selectivity from solely achiral starting materials, and without using optically active catalysts (see scheme). These symmetry‐breaking syntheses provide a proof‐of‐concept for a new approach to asymmetric synthesis. NCS= N ‐chlorosuccinimide.
