Asymmetric Synthesis

Asymmetric synthesis is now one of the most important areas of research and development in organic chemistry. In this introduction to the subject early chapters cover general methods and terminology, while the bulk of the book describes the most important methods currently available to the organic chemist wishing to synthesize chiral compounds. Case studies are included, and comprehensive reference sections allow easy access to the relevant review and research papers. This book is written for organic chemists at postgraduate and advanced undergraduate level, and will provide an essential source of reference for the organic chemist working in industry.
