New Frontiers in Asymmetric CatalysisAuthor(s): Koichi Mikami, Mark Lautens\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: Wiley-Interscience\nISBN-13: 9780471680260, 978-0471680260\nSynopsis\nA compilation of recent advances and applications in asymmetric catalysis\n The field of asymmetric catalysis has grown rapidly and plays a key role in drug discovery and pharmaceuticals. New Frontiers in Asymmetric Catalysis gives readers a fundamental understanding of the concepts and applications of asymmetric catalysis reactions and discusses the latest developments and findings. With contributions from preeminent scientists in their respective fields, it covers:\n * \""Rational\"" ligand design, which is critically dependent on the reaction type (reduction, oxidation, and C-C bond formation) \n * Recent findings on activation of C-H bonds, C-C bonds, and small molecules (C=O, HCN, RN=C, and CO2) and the latest developments on C-C bond reorganization, such as.
