✦ Synopsis

ingredients are being produced by Daiso using new technology developed by Brandeis University. Dicarboxylic anhydride is reacted with alcohols in the presence of optically active catalysts. Optically active hemiester compounds are produced when the catalysts incorporate frameworks of quinine, quinidine, or other compounds. The molecular structures of the compounds include carboxylic acid and ester groups.
