From the publisher

Die enantioselektive Synthese ist eine eine Herausforderung fr den modernen Organiker. Die weit verbreitete enantioselektive Katalyse mittels chiraler Metallkomplexe kann Probleme bei der Produktabtrennung verursachen. Eine elegante Alternative ist die Katalyse mittels kleiner chiraler organischer Molekle. Das erfahrene Autorengespann aus Hochschule und Industrie gibt mit diesem Handbuch erstmals eine bersicht ber den Einsatz solcher nicht metallhaltiger Katalysatoren in der Laborpraxis.
Alle wichtigen Reaktionstypen wie nucleophile Substitution, nucleophile Addition, Cycloaddition, Oxidation und Reduktion werden behandelt. Daneben werden verschiedene Verfahren zur Racemattrennung vorgestellt. Ein zustzlicher Fokus liegt auf den industriellen Anwendungsmglichkeiten der neuen Verfahren.
Mit einer umfassenden Beschreibung der Synthesestrategien und Methoden wendet sich dieses Buch an den praktisch arbeitenden Chemiker in Industrie und Hochschule und sollte in keinem Labor fehlen.

From the rear cover

Asymmetric catalysis is of ever-increasing importance in organic synthesis, both in the academic and the industrial environment. Between the extremes of metal-based and biocatalytic methods, the use of low-molecular weight and purely organic catalysts has become a third and highly efficient tool for enantioselective transformations. In this book, two experienced authors from academia and industry provide the first comprehensive overview of both the development and the current state of asymmetric organocatalysis. After a historical introduction, all synthetically relevant reaction types, such as nucleophilic substitution, addition to C=X bonds, cycloadditions and redox reactions are thoroughly discussed in a total of 11 chapters, followed by a consideration of large scale applications of organocatalysis. Additionally, the most frequently used organocatalysts and their properties are summarized in an appendix, aiding the research chemist in selecting an appropriate catalyst for a given transformation. Overall, this book targets organic chemists active both in industry and academia, and it deserves a place in every laboratory.
