Asymmetric Synthesis: Construction of Chiral Molecules Using Amino Acids

By Herbert F. Schuster and Gary M. Coppola

Presented here in a logical, manner is the synthetic utility of amino acids for the generation of chiral agents, intermediates, and final products by means of asymmetric synthesis. In the past 20 years asymmetric synthesis has forged to the forefront of organic chemistry, and this book provides extensive schemes and reactions containing over 1,900 structures to illustrate the varied assortment of chiral intermediates that can be generated from amino acids and their derivatives.
