Chemical Products By Use

Chiral Products include all products which are usually used in experimentation rather than in synthesis.

Analytical Reagents may be used to more easily measure the degree of isomeric enrichment in a substrate.

Chiral Precursors are those compounds containing chiral centers which become part of the final product. This group includes the chiral pool as well as its derivatives.
Chiral Reagents allow for the transfer of chirality from the reagent to a substrate in a stoichiometric fashion.

Chiral Auxiliaries modify a prochiral substate to influence the outcome of the reaction that produces the new chiral center. The auxiliary can be cleaved recovered once the reaction is complete.
Chiral Templates are similar to the chiral auxilaries, but the chiral center is destroyed durring the course of reaction and removal, so it can not be recycled.
Resolving Agents form a diastereomeric compound or complex with another chiral compound and allow separation by physical means such as recrystallization or chromatography. In some cases, purification may be by kinetic resolution.

Chiral Catalysts leverage chirality by allowing each catalyst molecule to generate chirality in many prochiral substrates molecules.

Biocatalysts include natural enzymes and varients produced by site-specific mutagenesis.
Chemical Catalysts are the many chiral ligands and transition metal complexes which bring about chiral reactions.
