Asymmetric Synthesis: Catalysis, Methods and Applications

As a branch of chemistry, asymmetric synthesis refers to that form of chemical synthesis, which produces stereoisomeric products and chirality in large unequal amounts. This synthesis is used in pharmaceutics because it produces diastereomers and enantiomers which are very helpful in drug discovery. This book presents the complex subject of asymmetric synthesis in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. Different approaches, evaluations and methodologies have been included in it. This textbook will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
