About the author
Carsten Bolm became Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Marburg (Germany) in 1993, and since 1996 he is full professor for Organic Chemistry at the RWTH Aachen University (Germany). He helt visiting professorships at the universities in Madison, Wisconsin (USA), Paris (France), Florence (Italy), Milan (Italy), and Namur (Belgium). His list of awards include the Heinz-Maier-Leibnitz prize, the ADUC-Jahrespreis for habilitands, the annual prize for Chemistry of the Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen, the Otto-Klung prize, the Otto-Bayer award, and a fellowship of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
Summary
In this first book to gather the information on this hot topic otherwise widely spread throughout the literature, experienced editors and top international authors cover everything the reader needs -- from the synthesis of chiral organosulfur compounds to applications and catalysis:
* Asymmetric synthesis of chiral sulfinates and sulfoxides
* Synthesis and use of chiral dithioacetal derivatives, ylids, chiral sulfoximines and sulfinamides
* Use of chiral sulfoxides as ligands in catalysis
* Asymmetric reactions of alpha-sulfenyl, alpha-sulfinyl and alpha-sulfonyl carbanions.
As a result, readers will be able to improve their own performance in asymmetric synthesis.
Report
"This book is a considerable achievement by the authors and editors with respect to both scientific content and presentation. It defines the field as it now stands and will be of value to readers for many years to come. It is required reading for any researcher interested in organosulfur chemistry, as well as for the many organic chemists engaged in asymmetric synthesis in both academia and industry." ( Angewandte Chemie , March 9, 2009)
