E21: Stereoselective Synthesis

6 English-language volumes

Editors:

E. Schaumann, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany

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 - a six-volume set of almost 7000 pages that evaluates the entire literature of stereoselective chemistry.

The principal part of the work is concerned with methods for stereoselective bond formation. Following the general introductory chapters covering principles, nomenclature, separation, and analysis, the chapters on individual synthetic methods are organized by the type of bond that is broken or formed. Common chiral auxiliaries, solvents, reagents, and catalysts are also covered comprehensively.

Independent reviews are available for volumes E21a, E21b, E21c, and E21d.

Award for
Eric N. Jacobsen

We would like to congratulate Eric N. Jacobsen, Editorial Board Member, Science of Synthesis, on being awarded the Yamada–Koga Prize 2008 which is awarded every year to a scientist whose research has a major impact in the fields of the synthesis of optically active compounds. The Yamada–Koga Prize will be awarded to Professor Eric N. Jacobsen on November 14, 2008, at the 18th Symposium on Optically Active Compounds held in Tokyo, Japan.

Ley, Editorial Board Member, Science of Synthesis, on receiving the Prous Institute-Overton and Meyer Award for New Technologies in Drug Discovery, European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry, Vienna (2008) and the Hans Heroff Inhoffen Medal, Helmholtz Zentrum für Infectionsforschung (2008).

Professor
John Colin Tatlow
(1923–2008)

We are very sorry to announce that Professor John Colin Tatlow passed away in the UK on April 9th, 2008. Professor Tatlow was the Editor-in-Chief of the E10 Organo-Fluorine Compounds (Houben–Weyl) series and made a major contribution to fluorine chemistry during his career. He was the recipient of the American Chemical Society Award for Creative Work in Fluorine Chemistry in 1990. We would like to extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
