Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis

From the reviews of the First Edition . . ."e;An excellent text . . . will no doubt provide the benchmark for comparative works for many years."e;—Journal of the American Chemical Society"e;A resounding success . . . the definitive current summaries on their respective subjects."e;—SynthesisSince this important work was first published in 1993, the field of catalytic asymmetric synthesis has grown explosively, spawning effective new methods for obtaining enantiomerically pure compounds on a large scale and stimulating new applications in diverse fields-from medicine to materials science. Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis, Second Edition addresses these rapid changes through new or substantially revised contributions from highly recognized world leaders in the field.
