Stereoselective Synthesis: A Practical Approach [Paperback]

Mihaly Nogradi (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1994

The state-of-the-art in stereoselective synthesis!
Thoroughly revised and updated, this enlarged second edition offers a plethora of valuable information on methods and reagents in stereoselective synthesis. Methods have been selected for high efficiency and selectivity; mechanistic aspects are treated succinctly, with a strong emphasis on practical applications. For this new edition, material has been added on
* homogeneous diastereoselective hydrogenations
* enantioselective oxidations
* novel, efficient chiral auxiliaries

Much of the information given is presented in figures and tables, which makes the book a valuable reference work for the practically minded organic chemist.

From reviews of the first edition:
'The extensive material in the volume should prove particularly useful to anyone involved in synthetic chemistry or teaching a course in organic chemistry.' Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 'With nearly 1400 references cited, the book contains a wealth of information and should be a useful addition to the chemist's library.' The American Scientist

From the Back Cover

Mihály Nó grádi Stereoselective Synthesis A Practical Approach The state-of-the-art in stereoselective synthesis! This enlarged second edition offers a plethora of valuable information on methods and reagents in stereoselective synthesis. Methods have been selected for high efficiency and selectivity; mechanistic aspects are treated succinctly. Based on more than 800 new references, material has been added on every aspect of stereoselective synthesis. Much of the information given is presented in figures and tables, which makes the book a valuable reference work for the practically minded organic chemist. "The many synthetic reactions that Professor Nógrádi has laid out, in this and in the previous volume, are truly a tribute to the excellent work of the modern organic chemist." A. I. Meyers From reviews of the first edition: "The extensive material in the volume should prove particularly useful to anyone involved in synthetic chemistry or teaching a course in organic chemistry."

This review is from: Stereoselective Synthesis: A Practical Approach (Paperback)

This second revised edition further enforces, applies, summarizes the concepts in stereoselective synthesis presented in Carey & Sundberg's Advacned Organic Chemistry Part B. Topics include stereoselective catalytic reductions, stereoselective non-catalytic reductions, stereoselective oxidations, stereoselective carbon-carbon formation via nucleophilic addition to carbonyl and via pericyclic reactions. New material has also been added on homogenous diastereoselective hydrogenation, enantioselective oxidations, and, novel chiral auxiliaries. This revised edition includes materials and examples from updated and current research. Organic chemists and researchers should no doubt add this volume to their organic collection.
