This text covers a wide range of reactions which are of importance in the asymmetric synthesis of organic compounds. The principles of asymmetric additions to carbonyls, enolate alkylation, aldol reactions, additions to C-C double bonds, reduction and oxidation, rearrangements, and hydrolysis/esterification reactions are covered, and selected examples are used to illustrate the various topics. References to the original research literature are made throughout the text.
