Description
Asymmetric synthesis is one of the most important areas of research and development in synthetic organic chemistry, and has wide-ranging industrial applications. This introduction to the subject covers chirality, nomenclature and analytical methods of resolution. The main body of the text describes the principal methods available to the organic chemist wishing to synthesize chiral compounds. Case studies are included, and reference sections allow access to the relevant review and research literature. This book is written for organic chemists at postgraduate and advanced undergraduate level.
