title: Enantioselective catalysis in fine chemicals production.
abstract: The application of enantioselective catalysis to the fine chemicals industry has great potential both from economic and ecological points of view, but to date has not been widely implemented on a technical scale. The author hopes that the award of the 2001 Chemistry Nobel Prize in this field will give the necessary impetus to future applications.
