Knowledge
The student who completes the course successfully will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of the main issues related to the synthesis of optically active compounds, placing emphasis on practical utility and relevance to industrial production. He or she will acquire knowledge of the importance of chirality as a dominating factor not only in the preparation of new drugs, but also of new reagents, conditions, catalysts, mechanism an syntheses. He or she will be aware of the relevant synthetic methodologies with particular attention to catalytic asymmetric synthesis and biocatalysis.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
In the oral exam, the student's ability to explain correctly at the board the main topics presented during the course will be assessed. The student must be able to illustrate the course contents thoughtfully and using the appropriate terminology.

Syllabus
The course provides notions on the main synthetic methodologies for obtaining enantiomerically pure compounds, with particular emphasis on enatioselective catalysis (chemical catalysis and biocatalysis). The course also approaches some issues related to other approaches as chiral pool and separation of enantiomers.
A comparison of the different methodologies and their suitability for industrial applications are also presented and discussed. Some selected examples of existing applications on an industrial scale are described.
