What are the Applications of Enantiopure Catalysis?
Enantiopure catalysis has wide-ranging applications, including:
Pharmaceuticals: Many drugs are chiral, and the desired therapeutic effect is often associated with one enantiomer. Enantiopure catalysis ensures the selective production of the active enantiomer. Agrochemicals: Enantiopure pesticides and herbicides can be more effective and environmentally friendly. Flavors and fragrances: These industries often require enantiopure compounds to achieve the desired sensory properties.
