Praise for the previous editions
"An excellent text . . . will no doubt provide the benchmark forcomparative works for many years." --Journal of theAmerican Chemical Society
"An excellent state-of-the-art compilation of catalyticasymmetric chemistry . . . should be included in any chemistryreference collection." --Choice
"This is a tremendous resource and an excellent read. Irecommend immediate purchase." --PerkinTransactions
Since this important work was first published in 1993, the fieldof catalytic asymmetric synthesis has grown explosively, spawningeffective new methods for obtaining enantiomerically pure compoundson a large scale and stimulating new applications in diversefields--from medicine to materials science. CatalyticAsymmetric Synthesis, Third Edition addresses these rapidchanges through contributions from highly recognized world leadersin the field.
This seminal text presents detailed accounts of the mostimportant catalytic asymmetric reactions known today, and discussesrecent advances and essential information on the initialdevelopment of certain processes. An excellent working resource foracademic researchers and industrial chemists alike, the ThirdEdition features:
* Six entirely new chapters focusing on novel approaches tocatalytic asymmetric synthesis including non-conventionalmedia/conditions, organocatalysis, chiral Lewis and Bronsted acids,CH activation, carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions, andenzyme-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis
* A new section focusing on the important new reaction, asymmetricmetathesis, in carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions
* Updated chapters on hydrogenation, carbon-carbon bond-formingreactions, hydrosilylations, carbonylations, oxidations,amplifications and autocatalysis, and polymerization reactions
Retaining the best of its predecessors but now thoroughly up todate, Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis, Third Edition servesas an excellent desktop reference and text for researchers andstudents from the upper-level undergraduates through experiencedprofessionals in industry or academia.

"In summary, this is a comprehensive and up-to-date detailed textbook, excellent for reference, for gaining a rapid appreciation of what has been achieved in asymmetric catalysis, while suggesting the many directions it might be going in the future." (Applied Organometallic Chemistry, 6 March 2015)
"This is a well-prepared monograph that offers practical entries to the current literature for students or practitioners seeking a foundation in a particular area of asymmetric catalysis to support proposals or projects. . . Thus, the book has broad appeal; it should be useful for chemists at all levels, for graduate students and academic instructors to senior scientists and principal investigators." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 16 June 2011)
"This third edition of Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis remains at the forefront of literature resources, and should be added to all chemistry reference collections. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (Choice, 1July 2011)
"An excellent working resource for academic researchers and industrial chemists alike . . . retaining the best of its predecessors but now thoroughly up to date, Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis, Third Edition serves as an excellent desktop reference and text for researchers and students from the upper-level undergraduates through experienced professionals in industry or academia." (Organic Chemistry Portal, 1 May 2011)
"Overall, this book would be a useful addition to the library of a scientist engaged in catalysis in general and in asymmetric catalysis in particular. It is clearly a must-have for any comprehensive library.." (JACS, 2010)
