In "Science of Synthesis: Stereoselective Synthesis" expert authors present the best and most reliable methods currently available for the preparation of nonracemic compounds. These methods may be stoichiometric or catalytic, and the latter may include metal, organic, or enzyme catalysis. The three volumes of Stereoselective Synthesis provide an invaluable resource to the practicing synthetic organic chemist.
"Stereoselective Synthesis 1" covers stereoselective reactions of carbon-carbon double bonds. These reactions are highly attractive as they are additions, and thus by nature highly atom-economic. Specific topics discussed include stereoselective addition of one or more carbon or heteroatom groups across a C=C bond (e.g., dihydroxylation, hydroboration, hydroamination, conjugate addition) as well as epoxidation, aziridination, and cyclopropanation.
This volume is part of the three-volume set "Stereoselective Synthesis" (ISBN 978-3-13-166421-1).
