Description
Deals with basic principles of asymmetric catalysis focusing on its synthetic significance. Covers homogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation, asymmetric catalysis via chiral metal complexes, heterogeneous catalysis and non-organometallic catalysis. The collection of a range of stereoselective reactions illustrate various strategies and methodologies as well as their general utility. Homogeneous Asymmetric Hydrogenation. Enantioselective Isomerization of Olefins. Asymmetric Catalysis via Chiral Metal Complexes: Selected Examples. Enantioselective Addition of Organometallic Reagents to Carbonyl Compounds: Chirality Transfer, Multiplication, and Amplification. Three-Component Synthesis of Prostaglandins. Asymmetric Catalysis with Purely Organic Compounds. Heterogeneous Asymmetric Catalysis. Index.
