Asymmetric synthesis has become a major aspect of modern organic
chemistry. The importance of stereochemical purity in
pharmaceutical products has been one driving force in the quest for
improved control over the stereochemical outcome of organic
reactions. Asymmetric catalysis is an important aspect of
asymmetric synthesis, and one that has seen tremendous activity
over the past decade. This book is planned from the point of view
of the synthetic organic chemist, i.e. by transformation rather
than on the basis of the organometallic chemistry. The emphasis is
on non-enzymatic methods of asymmetric catalysis, although key
references to enzyme-catalysed reactions have been incorporated
where appropriate.
The book is extensively referenced and therefore provides a
convenient point of entry to the primary literature.
