Lysergic acid is a chiral compound with two stereocenters.

This was an important advancement because it was the first method for the catalytic production of pure chiral compounds.

It can also be used for the separation of chiral compounds.

As one of the simplest such molecules, it is often cited as the prototypical chiral compound.

In 1909 he was awarded a PhD degree for his research into the stereoselective synthesis of chiral compounds.

Promethazine is a chiral compound, occurring as a mixture of enantiomers (pictured).

Used only in LC when chiral compounds are being analyzed.

Proline, a naturally occurring chiral compound, is readily and cheaply available.

Until 1951 it was not possible to obtain the absolute configuration of chiral compounds.

It was economical for life-forms to adopt one form or the other of each type of chiral compound.
