Bøger af Garry (Professor of Organic Chemistry Procter

This text covers a wide range of reactions which are of importance in the asymmetric synthesis of organic compounds. The principles of asymmetric additions to carbonyls, enolate alkylation and aldol reactions are discussed, and selected examples are used to illustrate all topics.

Aimed at undergraduate chemistry students, this clear and concise text is concerned with the reactions used in stereoselective organic synthesis. These are important types of reactions which can be used for the selective preparation of new organic compounds with a defined and predictable three dimensional architecture.
