Abstract
Recently, studies on the chiral synthesis have been extensively stressed upon. There has been progress in cooperation with the development of highly selective reagents. Useful enzymes (e. g. immobilized enzymes), microorganisms, and excellent analytical instruments for spectroscopy and for the chromatography have become available. In this context we reviewed the papers concerned with the syntheses of optically active compounds from the meso compounds and the symmetrical molecules having a prochiral carbon atom. We have dealt only with the compounds possessing functional groups in the same ligands of the symmetrical prochiral molecule.
