II. REPORT SYNOPSIS
Chiral Chemicals
In Greek, the word “chiral” means ‘similar to hand.’ Therefore, these words have been selected to express
the inability of an object to superimpose itself on its reflection.
The concept can be explained more clearly with an example like the human hands. Left hand is a mirror
image of the right hand, and the right hand is a mirror image of left hand. If one palm is superimposed with
the other, thumb of one hand would be lying under the little finger of the hand on top, and little finger of
the hand on bottom would be lying under the thumb of hand on top. Even the index finger of one hand will
not be below the index finger of the other hand. So the hands are said to exhibit chirality.
It is difficult to imagine any axis of rotation that would bring about perfect superimposition in the case of
human hands. Absence of such improper rotation axis that facilitates superimposition makes the hands or
any object, chiral.
By converse logic, objects that have a mirror plane or an inversion center, which allows improper rotation
axis to operate in such a manner that it is possible to superimpose one half with the other, are not chiral.
Symmetrical structures are divisible into equal parts, which have exactly corresponding features, like the
left thumb for right thumb, left index finger for right index finger, and so on in human hands. It is the
improper rotation axis; however, that determines the chiral characteristics in these structures. Improper
rotation facilitates superimposibility by rotating the object 360 degrees on an axis perpendicular to its
reflection. If the object is not superimposable after such rotation, then it is chiral.
Like objects, molecules with right and left hand structures, also exhibit chirality. Chiral Chemicals have two
forms, which are mirror images of one another. Collectively, these forms are referred to as enantiomers.
Each molecule forming the enantiomeric pair is an optical isomer of the other. A molecule is said to be an
optical isomer of another, when it has same chemical composition as the other but there is no scope for
superimposing one on the other.
Therefore, enantiomers are stereoisomers, i.e., they are identical twins as far as chemical composition is
concerned, but they can be differentiated easily because of spatial orientation of the molecules in them.
Optical isomers are used in many applications of all branches of chemistry, biochemistry and
pharmacology. They are formed when a molecule has some asymmetric center. Take for example the
carbon compounds. Carbon can bond with four different groups because it has a valency of four. If it does
bond in such a manner, each such group becomes a stereocenter. In other words, each group bonding to
carbon can have a mirror image in another molecule. Therefore, the number of enantiomers is directly
proportionate to the number of groups attached to carbon.
When a molecule contains more than one carbon, then the number of groups attached to each one of
them increases the probability of stereocenters. Some of these stereocenters may or may not invert.

Therefore, they generate permutations and combinations of images that are not mirror images, and are
also not superimposable. Such molecules are known as diastereomers. Diastereomers cannot be called
enantiomers. Each molecule forming the diastereomeric pair has same chemical composition, but these
molecules differ in spatial orientation of one or more of the compounds attached to the asymmetry
sources, which are the carbon atoms in our example.

Market Overview
Chiral technology has made tremendous progress so much so that it can now be developed with ease. This
has been made easier with the increase in chiral analytical techniques that are capable of differentiating
between enantiomers either during development of the drug or while monitoring its results in the body.
Despite the fact that chiral drugs have been in use much before the arrival of modern medicine, it is only
now that chiral drugs in the pharmaceutical industry has gained so much attention. This is largely due to
the understanding that enantiomers often show different bioactivity and metabolic fates. In addition there
is also a commercial reason where pharmaceutical companies have the chance to extend patent coverage
after expiry of patents on racemic drugs. This can take place through the development of the chiral switch
enantiomers with suitable bioactivity.
The usual protocol on drug design and development involves making the isomer mixtures first after which
the preferred isomer is selected. Recently there have been many developments in medicinal chemistry that
makes use of automated rapid synthesis. This is based on connecting building blocks in a particular manner
and this is combined with automated bioscreening for therapeutic activity and selectivity determination.
Information gathered must be exact to validate the use of single isomers.

CHIRAL CHEMICALS – THE OUTLOOK
Global Chiral Chemicals market is expected to grow at XX.XX% compounded annually from 2005 through
2020. The United States is the leading market for Chiral Chemicals with a market share of more than XX.XX
% globally in 2009. The United States is projected to maintain the leading position throughout the analysis
period with a drop in its share upto XX.XX % by the end of the analysis period (2020). Due to the cost
advantage and access to the latest technology, Asia-Pacific and Japan are the fastest growing markets for
Chiral Chemicals with a compounded annual growth of XX.XX % and XX.XX % respectively.
Today synthetic and chiral drugs are commercially available. However, many of these chiral drugs are
racemic mixtures. It is important for a chiral drug to be present in a pure therapeutically active form so as
to avoid the possibility of any untoward effects. Therefore there is an urgency to develop a suitable
technology for the analysis and separation of racemic drugs. The most important use of chiral technology is
in its application in chiral drugs. Usually the most therapeutically effective form of a drug is the single
enantiomer. The pharmacological activity of combined enantiomers has a positive effect thereby making
the drugs more effective as racemates. However, there are some drugs where the desired enantiomer is
converted into another one by the body thereby making the use of only one enantiomer a drawback. The
process by which a drug is metabolized by the body is an important factor that not only defines the fate of
a drug but its effect on the body as well.
A large part of bioorganic molecules are found to be chiral. This is the reason why researchers are keen to
study the separation of chiral compounds. Chiral technology and the progress that has been made on this
front have had a positive effect on the pharmaceutical industry with regard to the research and
manufacture of drugs. Chiral technology now plays an important role in normal drug design by helping in
not just the formation but also the discovery of new receptor-based as well as enzyme-inhibiting small
molecule drugs. This is seen especially in drugs that require high selectivity of action. The availability of
many new technologies in abundance instead of single-enantiomer chiral drugs makes this technology
more acceptable.
However, due to the emergence of highly sophisticated and complex mechanisms of synthesis and
separation of Chiral Chemicals a number of small, high technology companies have provided a niche for
themselves which are primarily for contract or outsource manufacturing. These companies aid large
corporations to develop chiral drugs based on their particular products. Major companies such as Avecia,
UK, and Dow Chemical's Chirotech Technology Ltd., in the United States strive to maintain broad portfolios
of chiral chemicals and technologies. BASF AG (Germany) is one of the leading Chiral companies globally
with a varied pipeline of chiral products including Chiral Flavors and Fragrances. Daicel Chemical Industries
in Japan is another leading company in Asia-Pacific which provides Chiral stationary phases and Columns for
use in Chromatography and also Chiral enzymes.

IV. PRODUCT TECHNOLOGY/RESEARCH
Definition and Overview of Chiralty
An object that possesses a mirror image different from itself is termed as chiral. The unique feature of
chiral molecule is that it forms a pair of isomers, which are mirror images of each other. The basic
distinction between Chiral and achiral molecules can only be understood by analyzing the symmetry of
their molecules.
In case there are two sets of molecule that are attached to the same central carbon atom, the molecule is
considered to possess a plane of symmetry. If the molecule is cut and the left-hand side is an exact
reflection of the right-hand side it is termed as achiral. In case the group contains four molecules then there
is no definite symmetry anywhere in the molecule.
The molecule, which does not have a definite plane of symmetry, is termed as chiral. The carbon atom that
contains four different groups attached is responsible for the lack of symmetry and this is termed as a chiral
centre or an asymmetric carbon atom.
The molecule that is attached to two carbon atoms and forms a plane of symmetry is called achiral. The
chiral molecules only exhibit isomerism.
Concept of Chiral Technology
The molecule is termed as chiral if it shows some variation from its mirror image and on the contrary if it
does not exhibit any variation from its mirror image it is simply called “achiral”.
The alphabets ‘D’ and ‘L’ are used as prefixes to make out which molecular hand is being represented. The
alphabet ‘D’ indicates the right and ‘L’ is an indicator of left. Same chemical is used in both of its
construction. It is important too clearly demark the different forms as it results in chemical reactions. Thus
the technology that is applied to differentiate between the to forms is called Chiral technology
Prominent Principles Governing Chiral Technology
The Chiral HPLC columns are formed by the process of immobilizing single enantiomers into the stationary
phase. The Resolution completely depends on the formation of transient diastereoisomers onto the outer
surface of the column packing. The formation of stable diastereoisomer is directly proportional to the one
retained, the stable is the most retained and on the contrary the unstable will be the one to be eluted first.
In order to demark between enantiomers there is a requirement of minimum of three points of interaction
and this would aid in chiral identification.
The forces that accomplish this lead interaction are considered very weak and they require cautious
optimization by regulation of the mobile phase and the temperature to exploit selectivity. Chromatography
is a multi-step technique employed for separation and it is accomplished by carrying out large number of
interactions. But an excellent resolution can only be achieved by a free energy of interaction difference
between the enantiomers and the stationary phase.

The various intermolecular forces that are responsible for chiral identification are pi-pi interactions,
polar/ionic interactions, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic effects. The intermolecular forces can be
enhanced using the formation of inclusion complexes and binding them to particular sites like peptide or
receptor in complex phases. An expert in the field can easily analyze these intermolecular forces by
selecting apt mobile phases. The best example to suit this statement would be the way polar interactions
are controlled by the pH.
