About this title

Synopsis

The second supplement to the three volume reference work Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis critically reviews new developments to the hottest topics in the field written by recognised experts. Seven chapters which are already in the major reference work have been supplemented and additionally a new chapter on Aminohydroxylation of Carbon-Carbon Double Bonds has been included. Thus, the state of the art in this area is now re-established. Together with the basic three volume book set and Supplement 1 it is not only the principal reference source for synthetic organic chemists, but also for all scientific researchers who use chiral compounds in their work (for example, in biochemical investigations and molecular medicine) as well as for pharmaceutical chemists and other industrial researchers who prepare chiral compounds.

From the Back Cover

The catalytic preparation of chiral organic compounds is one of the major challenges to chemistry as we approach the next century. Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis is a major reference work that for the first time provides a complete and definitive overview of this dynamic field. It contains in-depth coverage of the basic principles, mechanisms and basis for stereoinduction, scope and limitations, strategies and perspectives for future development. The editors and contributors are pioneers and world leaders in the field, ensuring a critical, authoritative and timely coverage. Simultaneous publication as book and CD-ROM allows the user to choose the medium they prefer: print, electronic, or both. The CD-ROM provides substructure and reaction-center search possibilities that allow state-of-the-art access. Due to the focussed and concise coverage, Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis is a highly cost-effective acquisition for libraries and research groups. This work will be the principal reference source for all academic and industrial researchers that requires synthetic chiral compounds, not only in organic and organometallic chemical research, but also in applied areas such as pharmaceutical science, molecular medicine, agro-science, flavors and fragrances. Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis is the starting point for all future developments of economically and environmentally sound methods for asymmetric synthesis.
