Short description The complete spectrum of the aldol reaction is presented in this two-volume handbook. Top authors cover the fundamentals before moving on to enolates and catalytic reactions. Further sections are devoted to enzymatic as well as related reactions. A comprehensive overview of this important topic, removing the need for time-consuming research among the widely dispersed literature. With a foreword by Professor D. A. Evans.
