Asymmetry synthesis
Accepted Answer
Asymmetric synthesis refers to the creation of chiral molecules with a preference for one enantiomer over the other. This is achieved through the use of chiral catalysts or reagents that selectively influence the formation of one enantiomer. Asymmetric synthesis is crucial in pharmaceutical development as enantiomers often exhibit different biological activities.
