Overview
Catalysis in Asymmetric Synthesis, 2nd Edition
Asymmetric synthesis has become a major aspect of modern organic chemistry. The stereochemical properties of an organic compound are often essential to its bioactivity, and the need for stereochemically pure pharmaceutical products is a key example of the importance of stereochemical control in organic synthesis. However, achieving high levels of stereoselectivity in the synthesis of complex natural products represents a considerable intellectual and practical challenge for chemists.
Written from a synthetic organic chemistry perspective, this text provides a practical overview of the field, illustrating a wide range of transformations that can be achieved. The book captures the latest advances in asymmetric catalysis with emphasis placed on non-enzymatic methods.
Topics covered include:
- Reduction of alkenes, ketones and imines
- Nucleophilic addition to carbonyl compounds
- Catalytic carbon-carbon bond forming reactions
- Catalytic reactions involving metal carbenoids
- Conjugate addition reactions
Catalysis in Asymmetric Synthesis bridges the gap between undergraduate and advanced level textbooks and provides a convenient point of entry to the primary literature for the experienced synthetic organic chemist.
