Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis, Second Edition

Rating:
Summary: A very specialized book for organic chemists.
Review: If you are working in the field of organic synthesis, including drug discovery and synthesis, this is a valuable book to have in your collection.

Asymmetric synthesis, as we know it, has become one of the most challenging (and profitable!) science nowadays. Universities do it; drug industries do it; everybody... uses its products. This book is an excellent compilation of catalytic asymmetric chemistry. It presents research articles contributed by well-known scientists worldwide on some of the most important catalytic asymmetric reactions in organic synthesis.

The book, however, is highly specialized to target advanced graduate students, university and industrial researchers only.
