Science of Synthesis: Stereoselective Synthesis Vol. 1

In Science of Synthesis: Stereoselective Synthesis expert authors present the best and most reliable methods currently available for the preparation of nonracemic compounds. These methods may be stoichiometric or catalytic, and the latter may include metal, organi c, or enzyme catalysis. The three volumes of Stereoselective Synthesis provide an invaluable resource to the practicing synthetic or ganic chemist. Stereoselective Synthesis 1 covers stereoselective reactions of carbon-carbon double bonds. These reactions are highl y attractive as they are additions, and thus by nature highly atom-economic. Specific topics discussed include stereoselective addit ion of one or more carbon or heteroatom groups across a C=C bond (e.g., dihydroxylation, hydroboration, hydroamination, conjugate ad dition) as well as epoxidation, aziridination, and cyclopropanation. // The content of this e-book was originally published in Janua ry 2011.
