摘要

Stereoselective synthesis is now the modern daily life of every synthetic chemist. The impact of stereoselective synthesis has gone way beyond the boundary of organic chemistry, even chemistry. As a scientist in this exciting field, I appreciated the opportunity to review the Stereoselective Synthesis volume of Science of Synthesis. It has been an enjoyable experience reading this volume on pericyclic reactions, cross coupling, C-H and C-X activation. The book is structurally well-organized and scientifically well-presented.
