Abstract

The syn addition of X 2 to a single achiral crystal CH2 = CHR is examined. A chiral product can be produced provided that (1) reaction occurs on a single surface; (2) the alkene molecular planes are approximately parallel to the surface; and (3) there is no crystallographic mirror or glide plane perpendicular to the surface being attacked.
