Description

After generalities on the notions of prochirality and stereochemistry, this teaching will present the tools allowing the mastery of diastereoselective and enantioselective syntheses. The different approaches will be presented in a detailed and rational way. Examples of industrial syntheses of chiral bioactive molecules will be discussed.
