Asymmetric Synthesis

All students studying organic chemistry need a good understanding of the methods of asymmetric synthesis. In a single volume, many of the most important principles of asymmetric synthesis and covered, In self-contained chapters it provides the principles of asymmetric additions to carbonyls, enolate alkylation. aldol reactions, additions to hydrolysis/ esterification reactions. Selected examples are used to illustrate the various topics. At the end of each chapter, references to the original literature are provided for the examples used in the text.
