Title:
METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING ABSOLUTE ASYMMETRY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2001/014287
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A novel method for synthesizing absolute asymmetry through the irradiation with circular polarization light which comprises providing a photochemically reversible reaction system wherein the starting material is a mixture of enantiomers or diastereomers not photochemically or thermally converted into each other; irradiating the reaction system with r- or l-circular polarization light to thereby excite the starting material alone or both of the starting material and the product; thus concentrating one of the enantiomers or one of the diastereomers in the starting material; and, in the product, concentrating the other enantiomer or the other diastereomer, thereby enabling the concentration of enantiomers, etc. both in the starting material and in the product.
