Controlling the stereochemical outcome of reactions in the synthesis of complex natural products or bioactive materials represents an intellectual and practical challenge for chemists. Written from the point of view of a synthetic organic chemist, Catalysis in Asymmetric Synthesis, 2nd Edition illustrates the transformations that can be achieved, and bridges the gap between the functional group approach of most undergraduate textbooks, and the obscuration of essential information in advanced level textbooks. Catalysis in Asymmetric Synthesis, 2nd Edition maintains readability, while also being highly practical and relevant.Asymmetric synthesis has become a major aspect of modern organic chemistry. The stereochemical properties of an organic compound are often essential to its bioactivity, and the need for stereochemically pure pharmaceutical products is a key example of the importance of stereochemical control in organic synthesis. However, achieving high levels of stereoselectivity in the synthesis of complex natural products represents a considerable intellectual and practical challenge for chemists. Written from a synthetic organic chemistry perspective, this text provides a practical overview of the field, illustrating a wide range of transformations that can be achieved. The book captures the latest advances in asymmetric catalysis with emphasis placed on non-enzymatic methods. Topics covered include: * Reduction of alkenes, ketones and imines * Nucleophilic addition to carbonyl compounds * Catalytic carbon-carbon bond forming reactions * Catalytic reactions involving metal carbenoids * Conjugate addition reactions Catalysis in Asymmetric Synthesis bridges the gap between undergraduate and advanced level textbooks and provides a convenient point of entry to the primary literature for the experienced synthetic organic chemist.
