“…In general, two approaches are utilized for this objective, asymmetric synthesis and chiral separation. Asymmetric synthesis using chiral sources, such as chiral pools, chiral auxiliaries, asymmetric catalysts, and enzymes, has significantly progressed over the last few decades. − Although the large-scale preparation of enantiomers can be economically attained using this approach, the products do not always show a high ee, and therefore, a further purification step may be inevitable. Additionally, nature produces only one of the enantiomers as a chiral source in most cases.…”
