Catalytic Asymmetric Conjugate Reactions

Download or read book Catalytic Asymmetric Conjugate Reactions written by Armando Cordova and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and long-awaited handbook on this important topic in the hot field of stereoselective organic synthesis covers several types of nucleophiles. Top international authors deal with modern forms of achieving stereoselective conjugate additions based on the use of chiral auxiliaries or asymmetric catalysis, such as P-N ligands, organocatalysis, domino reactions, Lewis acid and base catalysis. There is also a discussion of the employment of enantioselective conjugate addition transformations in total synthesis of important molecules. With its reliable and previously unpublished experimental procedures, this is a true source of high quality information.
