At the very latest, with the award of the 2001 Nobel Prize for work on asymmetric oxidation, there has been a need for a comprehensive book on such methods. Edited by J.-E. Bäckvall, one of the world's leaders in the field, this book fills that gap by covering the topic, from classical to green chemistry methods. He has put together a plethora of well-established authors from all over the world who cover every important aspect in high-quality contributions -- whether aerobic oxidation or transition metal-catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes.
By providing an overview of this huge topic, this book represents an unparalleled aid for any chemist working in the field.
Chapters include:
Recent Developments in the Osmium-Catalyzed Dihydroxylation of Olefins
Transition Metal-Catalyzed Epoxidation of Alkenes

"Das Thema des vorliegenden Buches gehört ohne Zweifel zu den wichtigsten in der modernen organischen Chemie. ... Wissenschaftlich-technischer Literatur gelingt es manchmal Perspektiven für die Zukunft aufzuzeigen. Dies ist besonders dann der Fall, wenn das Thema eng mit einer Verbesserung von Lebensqualität verbunden ist. In diesem Sinn leistet das vorliegende Buch in hervorragender Weise Anreize zu weiteren Erforschung von neuen, umweltverträglichen Oxidationsprozessen."
