The first supplement to the three volume reference work "Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis" critically reviews new developments to the hottest topics in the field written by recognised experts. Eleven chapters which are already in the major reference work have been supplemented and additionally five new chapters have been included. Thus the state-of-the art in this area is now re-established. Together with the basic three volume book set this supplement is not only the principal reference source for synthetic organic chemists, but also for all scientific researchers who use chiral compounds…mehr
The first supplement to the three volume reference work "Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis" critically reviews new developments to the hottest topics in the field written by recognised experts. Eleven chapters which are already in the major reference work have been supplemented and additionally five new chapters have been included. Thus the state-of-the art in this area is now re-established. Together with the basic three volume book set this supplement is not only the principal reference source for synthetic organic chemists, but also for all scientific researchers who use chiral compounds in their work (for example, in biochemical investigations and molecular medicine) as well as for pharmaceutical chemists and other industrial researchers who prepare chiral compounds.
Hisashi Yamamoto, born 1943, began his research in Hitosi Nozaki's laboratory at the Kyoto University, Japan. After obtaining his PhD under Elias J. Corey, he joined Toray Industries, Inc., Japan. He has been Professor at the University of Chicago since 2002. Hisashi Yamamoto's work has been widely acknowledged and honored with several academic awards and titles (e.g. Max-Tishler Prize, 1998, Le Grand Prix de la Fondation Maison de la Chimie, 2001, Tetrahedron Chair, 2002). He is on the editorial boards of several outstanding publications including the European Journal of Organic Chemistry and Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis
