Questions and Answers

What is enantioselective synthesis?

  • A chemical reaction that forms achiral molecules
  • A chemical reaction that does not involve chirality
  • A chemical reaction that produces equal amounts of enantiomeric and diastereomeric products
  • A chemical reaction that favors the formation of a specific enantiomer or diastereomer (correct)
  • What is the IUPAC definition of enantioselective synthesis?

  • A chemical reaction that does not involve chirality
  • A chemical reaction that forms achiral products
  • A chemical reaction in which one or more new elements of chirality are formed in a substrate molecule (correct)
  • A chemical reaction that produces only one enantiomer
  • Why is enantioselective synthesis important in pharmaceuticals?

  • It reduces the cost of synthesis
  • It only produces racemic mixtures
  • Different enantiomers or diastereomers of a molecule often have different biological activity (correct)
  • It has no relevance in pharmaceuticals
