The importance of stereochemical purity in pharmaceutical products has been one driving force in the quest for improved control over the stereochemical outcome of organic reactions. Asymmetric catalysis is an important aspect of asymmetric synthesis, and one that has seen tremendous activity over the past decade. This book is planned from the point of view of the synthetic organic chemist, i.e. by transformation rather than on the basis of the organometallic chemistry. The emphasis is on non-enzymatic methods of asymmetric catalysis, although key references to enzyme-catalysed reactions have been incorporated where appropriate. \u003cp\u003eThe book is extensively referenced and therefore provides a convenient point of entry to the primary literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction. \u003cp\u003eReduction of alkenes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReduction of ketones and imines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpoxidation of alkenes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther oxidation reactions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNucleophilic addition to carbonyl compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe aldol and related reactions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Diels-Alder reaction and related transformations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCatalytic reactions involving metal carbenoids.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCatalytic carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConjugate addition reactions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther catalytic reactions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Chemistry [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Chemistry\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Chemistry%20%5BPN%5D%22\"\u003ePN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52449407238424,"sku":"9781850759843","price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781850759843.jpg?v=1785198358","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/catalysis-in-asymmetric-synthesis-hardback-9781850759843","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
