The provision of pure enantiomers is of increasing importance not only for the
pharmaceutical industry but also for agrochemistry and biotechnology. In general, there are …

Parity violation represents an essential property of particle and atomic handedness used to
cope with the complex phenomenon of asymmetry in the universe. At the molecular level …

Thoroughly revised, with either entirely new or completely updated contents, this is a
practical manual for the small and large-scale preparation of enantiomerically pure products …

" How did life originate and why were left-handed molecules selected for its architecture?"
This question of high public and interdisciplinary scientific interest is the central theme of this …

Additives which share a similar molecular structure with the crystallizing parent molecule are
called tailor-made additives (TMAs). The inclusion of well-chosen TMAs often has a …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the concept of preferential crystallization, with a
focus on aspects of quantification and application from an engineering point of view. The …

Amino acids in living systems consist almost exclusively of the L-enantiomer. How and when
this homochiral characteristic of life came to be has been a matter of intense investigation for …

Polarimetry is used for continuous online monitoring of optical resolution by preferential
crystallization. In combination with refractometry the liquid phase composition is determined …

A simplified kinetic model is proposed to describe stereoselective autocatalysis in specific
alkylzinc additions. The model is based on current experimental knowledge and by the use …

Chiral resolution of racemic products is a challenging and important task in the
pharmaceutical, agrochemical, flavor, polymer and fragrances industries. One of the options …
