Description
This book covers a wide range of reactions which are of importance in the asymmetric synthesis of organic compounds. The principles of asymmetric additions to carbonyls, enolate alkylation, aldol reactions, additions to C-C double bonds, reduction and oxidation, rearrangements, and hydrolysis/ esterification reactions are covered, and selected examples used to illustrated the various topics. Numerous references to original literature should be of ues to organic chemists interested in the area of asymmetric synthesis.
Reviews / Votes
All the topics are treated clearly and systematically. The book covers the core aspects of modern asymmetric synthesis and can therefore be emphatically recommended for students and other newcomers to the subject, especially in view of its affordable price. * A. Stephen K. Hashmi, Institut fuer Organiusche Chemie der Universitaet Frankfurt am Main, Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.Engl. 1996, 35, No. 22 * Principles of Assymetric Synthesis by Robert Gawley and Jeffrey Aube discusses key physical concepts and analytical methods and provides a useful glossary of terms, in addition to describing important types of reaction. * Peter Budd, University of Manchester, New Scientist, March 1997 * A valuable introductory text especially for research workers and lecturers. * Aslib Book Guide, vol.61, no.9, September 1996. * An up-to-date book in this area ... very timely. ... In my view this is an excellent book, that will be especially welcomed by those at postgraduate level and beyond. ... The standard of production is very good, with clear schemes showing structures with unambiguous stereo-chemistry, and plenty of real examples to bring the story to life. ... Gary Procter should be congratulated on assembling an excellent review of this important area. * Nigel S Simpkins, Chemistry in Britain, July 1996. * A valuable introductory text especially for research workers and lecturers. * Aslib Book Guide, vol.61, no.11, November 1996 *More details
