Chiral templets are very useful in natural product synthesis. Most of the natural products have a complex structure. But it synthesized in nature starting from simple molecules. In the lab, use the same approach to synthesize the complex natural product (total synthesis) using the simplest skeletal molecules which are available in nature (refer to as chiral templets).  Most of the chiral templets naturally possess optical activity (chirality). 
Chiron (Chiral synthon) is used in the synthesis of natural products in the laboratory.
Chiron plays a very important role in total synthesis. A strategy provides a practical approach for such a target based on the concept of chiral tempests (Chiral synthesis or Chiron approach) and the generation of Chiron. Among the available four classes of chiral strategy material (carbohydrate, amino acids, hydroxyl acid, and terpenes), carbohydrates are most commonly used in addition to functional groups and stereochemical features.
