Examples of Industrially Ready Chiral Catalytic Technologies and Their Application

3 EXAMPLES OF INDUSTRIALLY READY CHIRAL CATALYTIC TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR APPLICATION 

The discussion in Section 20.2 considered the various criteria needed for a technology to be considered industrially ready. To visualize the importance of these needs, it is appropriate to reflect on a number of catalytic processes that have been used industrially. In this regard, a range of examples is presented below of processes employing chiral catalysis, developed in our laboratories and process plant. Both biocatalysis and chemocatalysis processes are covered, and indeed, the criteria for industrial readiness apply equally well to both.
