Advances in Asymmetric Synthesis, Volume 2 (Hardcover)

Novel asymmetric synthetic methods are a vital strategem in the armoury of the organic chemist, particularly for those involved in the preparation or application of chiral organic molecules. this series is devoted to presenting the latest advances in the field of asymmetric synthesis, drawing contributions on emerging areas and articles providing authoritative perspectives on more developed synthetic stategies from leading researchers in the field. This volume consists of six contributions on a variety of topical areas, ranging from the preparation and application of chiral cylopentadienes, the synthesis of non-racemic amines, diketones and -keto esters and ferrocenes, to the use of biocatalysis and application of microbial methods for the synthesis of chiral molecules and fine chemicals.
