Chiral separations

applications and technology

Edición de la obra Chiral Separations

This 11-chapter book chronicles the theory and practical applications of the emerging field of chiral technology by focusing on the efficient preparation, isolation, and separation of chiral molecules in optically pure forms. Asymmetric synthesis resolution, the basic approaches to obtaining chiral compounds, are discussed in a variety of innovative contexts, including enantioselective reactions and additions, enzyme-catalyzed reactions, chromatographic methods with various chiral stationary phases or chiral discriminators, and enantioselective membrane transport. Industrial, academic, and governmental chemists working in pharmaceutical, agricultural, biological, and synthetic organic chemistry will find this concise reference volume to be invaluable and essential reading.
