  The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2001                   The word chiral derives from the Greek word ceir (cheir), meaning hand. Our hands are chiral – the right hand is a mirror image of the left – as are most of life’s molecules such as (R)-alanine and (S)-alanine,…

  The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2001               The substances used as the starting point for these syntheses are in general not chiral. The trick is to make the product chiral. This is done using a chiral catalyst molecule. Suppose we compare this molecule with a left hand. A…

  The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2001                     (Nobel Prize 1901) was one of the first to realize that molecules are three-dimensional. This year’s Nobel Prize has its roots in research carried out by the first Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, J. H. van ‘t Hoff. In…

  The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2001                   (R)-alanine R refers to the Latin word rectus, meaning right. (S)-alanine S refers to the Latin word sinister, meaning left. When alanine is produced in a laboratory under normal conditions, a mixture is obtained, half of which consists of…
