The chiral separation of enantiomers is interesting for different fields of applications, e.g. pharmaceutical products, perfumery, and flavouring. Sometimes both enantiomers can be used for the application, sometimes only one enantiomer is of further interest. Ionones are closely related substances to the group of rose ketones which are key aroma chemicals in the successful recreation of rose scents.
