We may observe the same formula but different organizations revolving around the chiral center. Since Pasteur's meticulous observation of sodium ammonium tartrate crystals' structure, scientists have discovered many features of chiral molecules. The number of newly approved single enantiomeric drugs increases every year and takes place in the market. Thus, separation or resolution methods of racemic mixtures are of continued importance in the efficacy of drugs, installation of affordable production processes, and convenient synthetic chemistry practice. This article presents the asymmetric synthesis approaches and the classification of direct resolution methods of chiral molecules.en10.1002/chir.23512info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAsymmetric Synthesis; Chiral Pool; Chirality; Racemic Mixture; ResolutionPerformance Liquid-Chromatography; Catalytic Enantioselective Desymmetrization; Polysaccharide Stationary Phases; Diels-Alder Reactions; Human Serum-Albumin; Solid-State Nmr; Asymmetric-Synthesis; Amino-Acids; Capillary-Electrophoresis; Macrocyclic GlycopeptideReview Article351428363668742-s2.0-85141950621WOS:000881735900001Q3Q3
