What is Asymmetric Synthesis: Strategies and Importance about?

Asymmetric synthesis allows the production of single enantiomers of chiral molecules. It involves reactions that are highly enantioselective or enantiospecific. Prior to efficient asymmetric synthesis methods, resolution was used but resulted in maximum 50% yield of the desired enantiomer. The ability to synthesize single enantiomers is important for biological applications as biological systems are also chiral. Common strategies for asymmetric synthesis include using chiral starting materials from nature (
