Yearbook of Asymmetric Synthesis 1991, 1995

Recent advancements in the field of asymmetric synthesis have been triggered by the challenges this field has offered to synthetic organic chemists, and the importance of preparing optically active compounds of medical value. Newly developed asymmetric organic reactions combined with improvements and novel applications of previously known reactions have created the need for this current volume. Presenting findings reported in 1991, this book covers asymmetric oxidations, reductions, carbon-- carbon bond formations, carbon--heteroatom bond formations, enzymatic hydrolysis, resolution and transesterification and miscellaneous asymmetric reactions.
This book will serve as a useful reference for all researchers, scientists and students working in the field of synthetic organic chemistry.
