Long awaited and truly needed -- the only book to focus on this hot topic.
Heterocycles play an important role in our every day life. Vitamins, hormones, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, dyes and other products contain heterocycles, such that every organic chemist needs to know the chemistry of this substance class. Asymmetric synthesis in particular is a challenging field in today's synthetic chemistry.
Here, all aspects of the topic are presented in a compact manner, written by an international team of authors who provide important experimental procedures, including industrial applications.
This monograph is clearly structured and divided into two sections -- asymmetric synthesis of heterocycles containing only one nitrogen and that of those with more than one nitrogen as a heteroatom. This means that the necessary information may be found at a glance.
Essential for synthetic chemists in pharmaceutical and agrochemical chemistry, as well as organic and medicinal chemists, as well as those working with/on organometallics.
