Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now including Supplement 1. Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis critically reviews methods for the catalytic preparation of chiral organic compounds. This major reference set presents the state-of- the-art in this area. The internationally acclaimed editors and the contributors, who are recognized experts in the field, guarantee the authoritative and timely coverage. This set is not only the principal reference source for synthetic organic chemists, but also for all scientific researchers who require chiral compounds in their work (for example in biochemical investigations and molecular medicine) as well as for pharmaceutical chemists, agricultural chemists and other industrial researchers who prepare chiral compounds. The CD-ROM includes the full text search and a state-of-the-art graphic substructure search routine for compounds and reactions. Thus, enhancing the value of the book set. Since the publication of the 1st edition in 1999 research rapidly went on. These results are summarized in the first supplement which is now included.
