Enantioselective Organocatalyzed Reactions II: Asymmetric C-C Bond Formation Processes Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2011 Edition

From the reviews:

“Under Rainer Mahrwald’s guidance, the authors have gathered together hundreds of reactions, documented a wide variety of catalysts, and provided clear descriptions and schemes to illustrate the underlying mechanisms. … all of the chapters are crafted to inspire many new ideas and suggestions for the reader’s own work. … is well worthwhile for large research groups and libraries.” (Organic Chemistry Portal, March, 2012)

Organocatalysis has emerged as one of the hot topics in organic chemistry in recent years, as confirmed by the rapid-growing interest that researchers have shown in this field.
Enantioselective Organocatalyzed Reaction Volume I and II provides a critical review of the state-of-the-art developments in Organocatalysis, with a special focus on the asymmetric transformation that it enables. These volumes, written by leading experts in the field, discuss a broad range of synthetic transformations and offer an up-to-date coverage of organocatalyzed reactions such as:

• Conjugate addition;
• Aldol addition;
• Oxidation;
• Reduction;
• Cycloaddition;
• Mannich reaction;
• Asymmetric f untionalization;
• Enantioselective protonation;
• General aspects of asymmetric cyclization;
• Asymmetric desymmetrization processes.

By presenting a complete panorama of the use of organocatalysts in organic reaction, Enantioselective Organocatalyzed Reaction will help the global audience of scientists engaged in this area of research to develop new catalysts as well as new fields of applications in organic synthesis.
