This volume provides, at postgraduate student level, an introduction to stoichiometric asymmetric synthesis. The authors focus on stereoselective C-C bond formation in acyclic systems, with an emphasis on the use of chiral auxiliaries and reagents. The book is extensively referenced and so provides a convenient point of entry to the research literature. For postgraduate students, lecturers and researchers in synthetic organic chemistry; and for industrial research chemists who require a broad understanding of the subject.

This volume provides, at postgraduate student level, an accessible introduction to a topic of central importance in organic synthesis. It covers the main functional groups requiring protection in organic synthesis, explaining why a particular protecting agent works and how an agent should be chosen. Emphasis is placed on what a protecting group is doing chemically to the structure that it is protecting. Attention is given to removal of the protecting group.
This is a clear and thoughtful book, which concentrates on explaining the chemistry. It also provides a convenient point of entry to...

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...
