Asymmetric Synthesis

All the topics are treated clearly and systematically. The book covers the core aspects of modern asymmetric synthesis and can therefore be emphatically recommended for students and other newcomers to the subject, especially in view of its affordable price. * A.

Principles of Assymetric Synthesis by Robert Gawley and Jeffrey Aubé discusses key physical concepts and analytical methods and provides a useful glossary of terms, in addition to describing important types of reaction. * Peter Budd, University of Manchester, New Scientist, March 1997 *
A valuable introductory text especially for research workers and lecturers. * Aslib Book Guide, vol.61, no.9, September 1996. *
An up-to-date book in this area ... very timely. ... In my view this is an excellent book, that will be especially welcomed by those at postgraduate level and beyond. ... The standard of production is very good, with clear schemes showing structures with unambiguous stereo-chemistry, and plenty of real examples to bring the story to life. ... Gary Procter should be congratulated on assembling an excellent review of this important area. * Nigel S Simpkins, Chemistry in Britain, July 1996. *
