Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information
Comprehensive Chirality, Second Edition, Nine Volume Set provides a complete overview of the field, including chiral research relevant to synthesis, analytic chemistry, catalysis, and pharmaceuticals. This new edition is focused on reactions and methods, and less so on abstract concepts discussed in the first edition. Some of the original volumes were combined to make room for newer areas, new volumes introduced, and other volumes updated. Whether in an Academic or Corporate setting, these chapters will form an invaluable resource for advanced students/researchers new to an area and those who need further background or answers to a particular problem, particularly in the development of drugs.
Key highlights include:
- Innovative Reactions and Methods: advanced diastereo- and enantioselective techniques for controlling stereogenic centers in complex natural products and pharmaceuticals.
- Chiral Auxiliaries and Modern Reagents: transformative uses of chiral auxiliaries and cutting-edge reagents such as hypervalent iodide.
- Catalytic Methodologies: comprehensive coverage of C-C bond formation, emphasizing transition metals, biocatalysis, and multicatalysis.
- Asymmetric Photochemistry: light-induced asymmetric transformations.
- Olefin Functionalization and Cycloaddition: asymmetric oxidation and reduction methods.
Biocatalysis and Enzyme Engineering: in-depth analysis of enzyme design and engineering as powerful synthesis catalysts.
- Industrial Applications: practical insights into asymmetric synthesis for industrial applications, illustrated through recent case studies.
- Spectroscopic Techniques: updated spectroscopic methods for separating and analyzing enantiomers.
