Stabilities of steady states in a reaction model for generation of enantiomers were studied and conditions for spontaneous appearance of an optically acitive state were clarified. In this reaction system, an excess of either D- or L-enantiomer is realized as a result of competition between two stereoselective, autocatalytic reactions of the respective enantiomers and is determined by chance.
