Download or read book Science of Synthesis: Stereoselective Synthesis Vol. 3 written by P. Andrew Evans and published by Thieme. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 1172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major emphasis here is on enantioselective reactions using asymmetric catalysts. Examples from the total synthesis of various natural and unnatural targets validates the utility of the synthetic methods. Specific topics discussed: cycloaddition, cycloisomerization and sigmatropic rearrangement reactions, allylic and carbonyl functionalization reactions, metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, desymmetrization, fluorination, polymerization and sulfide oxidation reactions. This volume is part of a 3-volume set: Science of Synthesis Stereoselective Synthesis Workbench Edition Further information about Stereoselective Synthesis (including sample pages and the table of contents)
