Samenvatting:

Presenting organic chemists with an overview of the use of chiral auxiliaries, reagents and catalysts in synthesis, this work explains how to prepare chiral compounds correctly. The author covers the underlying principles and describes common chiral auxiliaries, reagents, ligands and catalysts.



Chiral molecules are molecules that come in left and right handed forms - they are mirror images of each other and behave differently in the body. This important book show chemists how to prepare chiral molecules to get the desired form. Presents an overview of the chiral auxiliaries, reagents and catalysts used in synthesis. Covers underlying principles.
