We present scheme-independent calculations of the derivative of the beta function at an infrared (IR) fixed point, denoted βIR′, in several asymptotically free chiral gauge theories, namely SO(4k+2) with 2≤k≤4 with respective numbers Nf of fermions in the spinor representation, and E6 with fermions in the fundamental representation. Some implications of these results are discussed.
