The presentation will first introduce the basic concepts of molecular chirality (definition, criteria for identifying chiral molecules, distinction between enantiomers and diastereoisomers), then the possible strategies for the synthesis of the enantiomers of chiral compounds will be summarised. A special focus will be devoted to biocatalytic methods, discussing their advantages and disadvantages. The immobilisation of enzymes and their application in continuous flow reactors will also be briefly described.
