Stereocontrolled Organic Synthesis
A "Chemistry for the 21st Century Monograph".

B. M. Trost

Blackwell Science,1994 [ISBN
0865428336]

Synthetic organic chemistry is currently advancing in many new and exciting directions. Formation of C-H, C-O and C-C bonds with high diastero- and enantio-selectivity is still emerging, and as methods such as these develop, sythetic strategies to complex organic molecules follow. By being able to make structural entities at will, the prospect for understanding molecular function, especially biological function, increases. In this multi-author volume, leading practitioners from around the world explore
contemporary issues in synthetic organic chemistry and discuss their implications for the future. Synthetic efficiency is the underlying theme of the contributions, with stereocontrol the major issue. A state-of-the-art summary for all synthetic organic chemists
