Chemistry

Asymmetric Synthesis

Asymmetric synthesis is the synthesis of a compound by a method that favors the formation of a specific stereoisomer. It plays a very important role in the discovery of new chiral drug candidates as the different enantiomers or diastereomers of a molecule can have very different biological activity, efficacy or side effects. In asymmetric synthesis, chiral drugs are prepared in a highly selective way to ensure the correct configuration of the molecule. In biologically active molecules, chirality is important for optimal interaction with the target receptor.
