Zusatztext A valuable introductory text especially for research workers and lecturers. Klappentext This book covers a wide range of reactions which are important in the asymmetric synthesis of organic compounds. Each chapter is self-contained! covers a single reaction type! and concludes with references to the original literature for the examples. Topics include principles of asymmetric additions to carbonyls! enolate alkylation! aldol reactions! additions to C-C double bonds! reduction and oxidation! rearrangements! and hydrolysis/ esterification reactions. The numerous examples and references to the literature will be of use to organic chemists interested in asymmetric synthesis! while the clear and self-contained approach makes the book a valuable resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in organic chemistry. Zusammenfassung 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.
