Fundamentals of Asymmetric Catalysis

摘要

With this book, the authors have the ambitious goal of summarizing the entire field of asymmetric catalysis in a single, manageable volume. The book differs from other recent monographs and edited series by its organization as a textbook and its focus on concepts rather than types of reactions. Practicing synthetic chemists working with asymmetric synthesis might find the text helpful as a source of definitions of specific modes of asymmetric induction and references about these modes. Further, it might find use as a supplementary text, most likely reference, for an introductory course on reactions.
