Stoichiometric Asymmetric Synthesis

This volume provides, at postgraduate student level, an accessible introduction to stoichiometric asymmetric synthesis. The authors focus on stereoselective C–C bond formation in acyclic systems, with an emphasis on the use of chiral auxiliaries and reagents.
The book is extensively referenced and so provides a convenient point of entry to the research literature.
