Handbook of Chiral Chemicals, Second Edition

Book Description:

The Handbook of Chiral Chemicals, Second Edition highlights the problems associated with the production of chiral compounds on a commercial scale. The book begins with a general discussion of how key subclasses of the chiral pool are obtained. It extensively covers methods that can be used to introduce or control stereogenic centers, including asymmetric hydrogenations, oxidations, pericyclic reactions, and enzymatic methods. The text contains several examples illustrating applications of the methodologies used to prepare specific compounds. This second edition features new material that emphasizes successful new industrial approaches in this rapidly developing field.
