Application of Organometallic Catalysis to the Commercial Production of L-DOPA.
Knowles, W. S.
Journal of Chemical Education, v63 n3 p222-25 Mar 1986
Shows how asymmetric organometallic catalysts can be used to make complex organic molecules with extremely high enantioselectivity. The molecule considered is l-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), an amino acid which was found to be effective in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. (JN)
