From the reviews of the First Edition . . . "An excellent text . . . will no doubt provide the benchmark forcomparative works for many years." —Journal of the American Chemical Society "A resounding success . . . the definitive current summaries ontheir respective subjects." —Synthesis Since this important work was first published in 1993, the fieldof catalytic asymmetric synthesis has grown explosively, spawningeffective new methods for obtaining enantiomerically pure compoundson a large scale and stimulating new applications in diversefields-from medicine to materials science. CatalyticAsymmetric Synthesis, Second Edition addresses these rapidchanges through new or substantially revised contributions fromhighly recognized world leaders in the field. It presents detailedaccounts of the most important catalytic asymmetric reactions knowntoday, discusses recent advances, and retains from the previousedition essential and intriguing information on the initialdevelopment of certain processes. An excellent working resource foracademic researchers and industrial chemists alike, the SecondEdition features: Contributions from Noyori, Sharpless, Kagan, Trost, Overman,Shibasaki, Doyle, Okamoto, Bolm, Carreira, and many otherinternationally renowned authorities New chapters on asymmetric carbometallations, asymmetricamplification and autocatalysis, and asymmetric polymerization Extended coverage of asymmetric carbene reactions, includingasymmetric intramolecular carbene insertion to C-H bonds as well asasymmetric dihydroxylation and aminohydroxylation Extended coverage of asymmetric carbon-carbon bond-formingreactions and applications An appendix listing all chiral ligands in the book
