It can be argued that it was originally van t Hoff (J. H. van t Hofk Utrecht, 1875) and LeBel (J. A. LeBel, Paris, 1874) who related the concept of a tetrahedral carbon atom bearing four different substituents (commonly referred to as an asymmetric carbon or an asynunetrically substituted carbon ) with chirality. However, not only they but, indeed, Pasteur (L. Pasteur, 1868), as we will eventually see (Carbohydrates, Chapter 11), had already made observations about the concepts of syimnetry, asyimnetry, and dissymmetry, which divorced those concepts from the requirement of four different substituents on carbon. ...
