Unknown in nature, such man-made compounds are becoming increasingly important. They have already been used to manufacture a group of catalysts-substances that stimulate or retard chemical reactions in which they themselves remain unaltered-used in the production of new supertough plastics, the drug L-dopa (for treating Parkinson's disease), low-lead fuels and other materials of industrial importance.
