This book covers the preparation of enantiomerically pure or enriched chemical compounds by use of chiral catalyst molecules. While reviewing the most important catalytic methods for asymmetric organic synthesis, this book also provides 6 entirely new chapters covering novel approaches to catalytic asymmetric synthesis developed over the past 7 years since the last edition published. Itserves as an excellent desktop reference and text for researchers and students from the upper-level undergraduate through experienced professional in industry or academia levels.Iwao Ojima, PhD, is the Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and the Directorof the Institute of Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He is a recipient of many awards, including the25th National Young Investigator Award (The Chemical Society of Japan), an Arthur C. Cope Scholar (ACS), the 51st Chemical Society of Japan Award for Distinguished Achievements, Emanual B. Hershberg Award for Important Discoveries inMedicinally Active Substances (ACS), the Outstanding Inventor Award (ResearchFoundation of SUNY), and the NYSTAR Faculty Development Award (NY State Office of Science, Technology, and Academic Research). He is a Guggenheim Fellow, aFellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a Fellow of the New York Academy of Sciences, and an Inductee in the Medicinal ChemistryHall of Fame (ACS). Professor Ojima is a world-renowned leader in asymmetric catalysis, medicinal chemistry, and drug discovery and he has published more than 340 papers and reviews in leading journals, more than 150 patents and applications, and edited 6 books. His research interests include drug design and discovery, medicinal chemistry and chemical biology, catalytic asymmetric synthesis, organic synthesis by means of organometallic reagents and catalysts, homogeneous catalysis and organometallic chemistry, peptide and peptidomimetics, beta-lactam chemistry, and organofluorine chemistry.
