1. Chiral recognition and enantioselective synthesis

Chiral molecules are widely used in many fields, including biology, chemistry and pharmaceuticals. While one enantiomer has the desired effect, the second is at best inactive, at worst toxic. It is therefore essential to develop efficient separation and selective synthesis methods. Since the 1970s, there has been growing interest in chirality and the development of separation and synthesis methods. Metal catalysts or ligands...
