Description
Describes the problems associated with large, commercial-scale syntheses of chiral molecules and the relatively small number of reactions that can be used to achieve these syntheses. The book discusses commercially viable and still-developing methods of compound manufacture, and reviews the best-selling chiral compounds as of 1996.
