Description and Table of Contents

Description

The art of organic synthesis has evolved rapidly in recent decades. One of the most exciting current interest in organic chemistry is that of stereoselective synthesis. This book summarizes the major advances in this important field, with particular emphasis on asymmetric reactions. The chapters on stereoselective catalytic and non-catalytic reductions, asymmetric oxidations, stereo-selective carbon-carbon bond formations, carbon-heteroatom bond formations, stereo-selective free radical reactions and the use of enzymes in stereoselective synthesis provide a lucid account of the most important methods for stereo-selective bond construction. Extensive citations guide the reader to the primary literature.
