This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly developing field of asymmetric synthesis. Using easy to understand graphical abstracts it presents 348 important catalytic and stoichiometric reactions leading to the synthesis of optically active chiral compounds. The first part of the book covers reactions related to reductions, oxidations, carbon-carbon bond formation and... Read more
