Reviews / Votes

"The book will be particularly appreciated by youngscientists, especially those aspiring to a future in thepharmaceutical industry, because it shows what kind of problemsthey will be asked to solve once they start their industrialcareer." (ChemMedChem, 1 March 2013) "All chapters are well-written and comprehensive with lotsof examples from OPR and D. The book is highly recommended toall process chemists." (Organic Process Research& Development Journal, 1 November 2012) "'Applications of Transition Metal Catalysis in DrugDiscovery and Development' is a valuable resource insynthetic chemistry which libraries of Chemistry should have,especially those serving medicinal chemists. It capturesauthoritatively the rich body of information recently generated bymany pharmaceutical companies on workable ways to access drugcandidates, and constitutes a unique review of modern syntheticpractice. The authors (all from industry) also include muchrelevant academic research. A high proportion of the citedliterature is from the last 25 years. It emphasizes catalytic C-Cand C-hetero coupling, cyclization, oxidation and reductionreactions. The writing is clear and concise." --E JCorey, Harvard University
