Abstract: | One of the most interesting phenomena on Earth is the chirality of biomolecules, the origin of which remains unknown. A challenge arising from this phenomenon is the selective, atom-economic synthesis of enantiomerically pure target molecules from nonchiral starting materials. Herein, new developments in the field of asymmetric photochemistry and photochirogenesis are described with special emphasis on absolute asymmetric synthesis. In this context, the elucidation of the ultimate cause of homochirality phenomena on earth and the possible correlation with physicochemical parameters are also presented. |
