Asymmetric Synthesis

This book covers a wide range of reactions which are important in the asymmetric synthesis of organic compounds. Each chapter is self-contained, covers a single reaction type, and concludes with references to the original literature for the examples. Topics include principles of asymmetric additions to carbonyls, enolate alkylation, aldol reactions, additions to C-C double bonds, reduction and oxidation, rearrangements, and hydrolysis/ esterification reactions. The numerous examples and references to the literature will be of use to organic chemists interested in asymmetric synthesis, while the clear and self-contained approach makes the book a valuable resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in organic chemistry.
