Handbook of Enantioselective Catalysis: With Transition Metal Compounds

By Henri Brunner

Enantioselective, transition-metal catalyzed reactions are of tremendous economic importance, since with a small amount of mediator, a large amount of optically active product becomes available. With this impressive handbook the reader has a complete compilation of enantioselective transition-metal catalyzed transformations at his fingertips. In Volume I ca 13000 optically active reactions, and all enantioselective transition-metal catalysts accumulated. Volume II details the catalysts themselves and contains in-depth literature coverage up to and including 1992. The inquiring scientist finds answers to the following questions: Which optically active compounds can be synthesized catalytically and how high is the enantiomeric excess? Which catalyst systems are available for a given transformation? Where in the literature will I find more detailed information? This handbook is an indispensable tool for organic, inorganic, organometallic, pharmaceutical, nutritional, agricultural and increasingly for polymer chemists both in applied and basic research.
