Stereoselectivity is of paramount importance in many fields, particularly in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products. The biological activity of chiral molecules often depends on their stereochemistry, meaning that one enantiomer may be therapeutically active while the other is inactive or even harmful. Catalysts that exhibit high stereoselectivity are therefore essential for the production of pure enantiomers, reducing the need for costly and time-consuming separation processes.
