Authoritative, broad overview of the field, compiled by 38 experts Critical presentation of the best organocatalytic and related methodologies available today for practical asymmetric synthesis Provides alternative, greener syntheses with simple and easily used catalysts helping avoid the use of expensive and/or toxic metals Asymmetric Organocatalysis 2 covers all the catalysts and reactions within the activation modes Brnsted base catalysis and Brnsted acid catalysis. Typical or general experimental procedures as well as mechanistic, technical and theoretical aspects are included, allowing the reader to clearly see how simple, clean and efficient this chemistry is. This volume is part of a 2-volume set: Science of Synthesis Asymmetric Organocatalysis Workbench Edition Further information about Asymmetric Organocatalysis (including sample pages and the table of contents) General information about Science of Synthesis
