Overview

Chiral pool synthesis is a strategy that aims to improve the efficiency of chiral synthesis. It starts the organic synthesis of a complex enantiopure chemical compound from a stock of readily available enantiopure substances. Common chiral starting materials include monosaccharides and amino acids. The built-in chirality is then preserved in the remainder of the reaction sequence.

This strategy is especially helpful if the desired molecule bears a great resemblance to cheap enantiopure natural products. Otherwise, a long, tortuous synthesis involving many steps with attendant losses in yield may be required. At times, it may be difficult to find a suitable enantiopure starting material; other techniques may prove more fruitful.

General methods used in chiral pool synthesis are the use of protecting groups, and functional group interconversion (FGI).

Examples

Chiral pool synthesis is used to build a part of the epothilone molecule (an alternative to Paclitaxel), from readily available enantiopure (-)-pantolactone.[1]
