Description
Asymmetric synthesis is one of the most important areas of research and development in organic chemistry, with wide-ranging applications in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries. This introduction to the subject covers chirality, nomenclature and analytical methods of resolution. The main body of the text describes all the principal methods 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 literature.
