Industrial immobilized chiral metal complexe

In this context, however, asymmetric transformations with chiral metal complexes or enzymes are particularly important. The demand for enantiopure building blocks in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries is still hampered by simple asymmetric processes which can be scaled up, as well as by the stability, recyclability, and hence the price of most chiral catalysts (refer also to the chapter by K.-U. Schoning in this volume). Immobilization of effective and robust catalytic systems and their application in continuous flow reactors is regarded as a key for success in this field.
