Trigger happy : Chiral oxygen isotopomers of hydrobenzoin ([ 18 O]( R )‐ 1 and [ 18 O]( S )‐ 1 ) acted as chiral triggers to induce the enantioselective addition of i Pr 2 Zn to pyrimidine‐5‐carbaldehyde. An extremely small chiral influence arising from the presence of the oxygen isotope ( 18 O) is amplified through asymmetric autocatalysis to enantioenrich the 5‐pyrimidyl alkanol product.
