Book Synopsis

Brings together the best tested and proven stereoselective synthetic methods

Both the chemical and pharmaceutical industries are increasingly dependent on stereoselective synthetic methods and strategies for the generation of new chiral drugs and natural products that offer specific 3-D structures. With the publication of Stereoselective Synthesis of Drugs and Natural Products, researchers can turn to this comprehensive two-volume work to guide them through all the core methods for the synthesis of chiral drugs and natural products.

Stereoselective Synthesis of Drugs and Natural Products features contributions from an international team of synthetic chemists and pharmaceutical and natural product researchers. These authors have reviewed the tremendous body of literature in the field in order to compile a set of reliable, tested, and proven methods alongside step-by-step guidance. This practical resource not only explores synthetic methodology, but

Trade Review

“The work will also be very useful to those actively involved in the teaching of modern organic chemistry and synthetic methodologies, because it allows one to quickly compile several examples of applications of methods for a lecture and include details of the corresponding transition states without the need to obtain the original publications.” (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed, 1 May 2014)
