Short description
Edited by two of the experts in the field, this handbook shows organic chemists that enantioselective catalysis is suitable for the large-scale production of enantioenriched intermediates. Some 25 top industrial researchers from around the world contribute case studies on the widest possible range of large-scale enantioselective processes, clearly structured so readers can see how colleagues have dealt with a similar task.
With a contribution by Noble laureate W. S. Knowles.
