Summary
Enantiomers are pairs of chemical compounds, which behave as image and mirror-image. Due to the fact that the living world constitutes exclusively of the L-form of amino acids, enantiomers generate different effects in biological systems. For this reason there is a need in efficient methods to provide pure enantiomers. We report about the development of new processes.
