In Science of Synthesis: Stereoselective Synthesis expert authors present the best and most reliable methods currently available for the preparation of nonra-cemic compounds. These methods may be stoichiometric or catalytic, and the latter may include metal, organ ic, or enzyme catalysis. The three volumes of Stereoselective Synthesis provide an invaluable resource to the practicing synthetic o rganic chemist. Stereoselective Synthesis 2 covers stereoselective reactions of carbonyl and imino groups, two of the most integral functional groups employed in organic synthesis. Specific topics discussed include reduction, alkylation, alkenylation, and arylatio n of these groups, as well as asymmetric aldol, Mannich, and Morita-Bayliss-Hillman reactions. // The content of this e-book was ori ginally published in November 2010.

Carbonyl and imino groups are two of the most integral functional groups employed in organic synthesis. Specific topics discussed: reduction, alkylation, alkenylation, and arylation of these groups, as well as asymmetric aldol, Mannich, and Morita-Bayliss-Hillman reactions.

This volume is part of a 3-volume set: Science of Synthesis Stereoselective Synthesis Workbench Edition
