Principles of Asymmetric Synthesis

A subset of chemical synthesis within the domain of chemistry, asymmetric synthesis entails the production of stereoisomeric products and significant chiral imbalances. This synthetic method finds extensive application in pharmaceuticals due to its capacity to generate diastereomers and enantiomers, which are invaluable in drug discovery processes. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of asymmetric synthesis. The topics covered herein deal with the core aspects of this area. It will also serve as a reference guide for students and academicians.
