This article describes a dream of Little R visiting the ‘Chiral Molecule Museum’. It introduces the structure of chiral molecules, the experiment to demonstrate the existence of chiral molecules-experiments on the separation of optical isomers of sodium ammonium tartrate by Pasteur, the two enantiomers of limonene; chiral drug thalidomide, and asymmetric catalysis.
- Chiral molecule,
- Sodium ammonium tartrate,
- Limonene,
