Introduction
 The direct synthesis of an optically active substance from
actively inactive substance(compound) with or without the
use of optically active reagents is called as asymmetric
synthesis.
 Production of a specific enantiomer from achiral compound or
racemic mixture.
 A laboratory synthesis of a chiral compound from achiral or
racemic starting materials alone always gives a racemic
mixture of enantiomers.
 If you want to make just one enantiomer, you have to use a
starting material or reagent which is also just one enantiomer.

CHIRAL POOL SYNTHESIS
 simplest and oldest approaches for enantioselective
synthesis,
 Uses an enantiomerically pure natural product as a starting
material,
 The chiral pool—Nature’s ‘ready-made’ chiral centres :pure
natural products, usually amino acids or sugars, from which
pieces containing the required chiral centres can be taken
and incorporated into the product.
 Aspartame from s- phenylanine and s- aspatic acid.

CHIRAL AUXILIARIES
 An enantiomerically pure compound (usually derived from a
simple natural product like an amino acid), called a chiral
auxiliary, is attached to the starting material.
 A diastereoselective reaction is carried out, which, because
of the enantiomeric purity of the chiral auxiliary, gives only
one enantiomer of the product.
 The chiral auxiliary is removed by, for example, hydrolysis,
leaving the product of the reaction as a single enantiomer.
 The best chiral auxiliaries can be recycled, so although
stoichiometric quantities are needed, there is no waste.
