Enantioselective Organocatalysis III: Catalysts, Reactions and Applications

Updated reference on the field of organocatalysis explaining the many advances made in the past 10 years

Enantioselective Organocatalysis III presents easily accessible, summarized information on organocatalysis, from computational aspects to non-conventional strategies, with complete coverage of the main advances in the field in the past 10 years. The book is the continuation of Comprehensive Enantioselective Organocatalysis, retaining the main features of its predecessor but with a larger number of concise chapters. Experimental procedures are not presented in this edition as most of them are similar to those already discussed in the previous edition.

Edited by a highly qualified researcher and contributed to by experts in the field, Enantioselective Organocatalysis III includes information on:

• Aminocatalysis-3 selected examples of aminocatalytic direct alpha-heteroatom functionalization and direct alpha-alkylation
• Organocatalytic dynamic kinetic resolution and organocatalysis in carbohydrate synthesis and polymer science
• Light-controlled organocatalysis by bifunctional single-catalyst systems and dual photo/organocatalytic strategies in asymmetric synthesis
• Strategies towards asymmetric organocatalysis at parts-per-million loadings and emerging organocatalyst classes from renewable sources
• Activation modes in asymmetric anion-binding catalysis and transformations with chiral phase-transfer catalysts

Appealing to a broad readership, Enantioselective Organocatalysis III is an essential reference for chemists and other researchers seeking to stay on top this rapidly developing field.
