Plasmochemical Synthesis of Optically Active Substances

This work is devoted to the study of optical activity (rotation of the polarization plane of light by matter) of organic synthesis in a plasma-liquid system with a rotating gliding discharge submerged in a liquid. The initial reagents of synthesis were ethanol, ammonia, and CO
₂
. The possibility of plasma-chemical synthesis of an optically active substance when all the starting reagents are not active in the synthesis is shown.
