2. Enantioselective domino and multicomponent reactions

In recent years, the growing interest of pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies in the production of enantiopure molecules, i.e. in a single enantiomeric form, has led to an unprecedented demand for new enantioselective synthesis methods. The two enantiomers of a chiral molecule (a drug, for example) can have different physiological effects.

An infamous example is thalidomide (figure 31 ), a drug marketed in the 1950s whose right-hand form has sedative properties, while the left-hand form causes congenital malformations.

Similarly, the two enantiomers of limonene have different olfactory responses (figure 31 ).
