"...likely to become the definitive resource on stereoselective synthesis"

L.S. Hegedus, Colorado State University, USA.

The development of stereoselective methods of organic synthesis has been the major aim of research in organic chemistry for over a decade, both in academia and in industry. This central field of chemistry has now reached a stage of maturity such that a comprehensive, critical survey is called for. At last, Stereoselective Synthesis provides just that - almost 7000 pages that evaluate the entire literature of stereoselective chemistry.

Initially released in six hardback volumes, Thieme is now offering the complete content in a ten-volume softcover "Workbench Edition". You get the same immense quantity and quality of essential information at a price your work-group or library can afford, now available at a discount of 25%.

Beginning sections provide essential background material on techniques and terminology. The principal part of the work is concerned with methods for stereoselective bond formation. Following principles, nomenclature, separation, and analysis, the chapters on individual synthetic methods are organized by the type of bond that is broken or formed. Access to and properties of the common chiral auxiliaries, solvents, reagents, and catalysts are also covered comprehensively.

Plus, you get the advantage of a critical evaluation of each method, clear visual representations of reaction schemes, the most effective experimental procedures, and assessment of the reaction scope in tabular form.
