Seminars in organic synthesis, volume 13

The latest volume in this respected series encompasses subjects as diverse materials with optical or biological properties, chiral molecules, advanced physical methods in organic synthesis and non-classical synthetic methodologies. Critical surveys are presented on: total synthesis of natural products, organometallic compounds in organic synthesis, the introduction and transformation of functional groups, and solid supported synthesis. The accompanying CD-ROM provides pdf files of the articles included in the book. This volume will be an invaluable reference source for students and researchers in both academia and industry.
