Chirality is a fundamental characteristic of all living organisms, and all essential biochemical processes exhibit enantioselectivity. Although enantiomers of one compound do not possess any physical differences, they show difference in physiological and chemical activity in biological systems. In general, one enantiomer of most of the racemic drugs shows significantly higher pharmacological activity than the other. In some cases one enantiomer can be totally inactive or in others, it can produce adverse side effects. Therefore, preparation and analysis of single enantiomer becomes important....
