Asymmetric Synthesis of Nitrogen Heterocycles

Here, all aspects of the topic are presented in a compact manner. The book is clearly structured, and divided into two sections -- asymmetric synthesis of heterocycles containing only one nitrogen and that of those with more than one nitrogen as a heteroatom -- such that the necessary information may be found at a glance. The international team of authors provides important experimental procedures, including industrial applications.
Essential for synthetic chemists in pharmaceutical and agrochemical chemistry.

Autorentext
Jacques Royer is Director of Research at the CNRS. He is currently the head of a laboratory of medicinal chemistry at the University Paris Descartes. He got his PhD at the University of Paris-Sud Orsay, and worked for 18 years at the Institut de Chimie des Substances Naturelles at the CNRS in Gif-sur-Yvette in the group of Prof. Henri-Philippe Husson. His research areas are asymmetric synthesis of natural products and more particularly alkaloids, amino alcohols and amino acids as well as original methods of synthesis including electrosynthesis. He is the author of about 100 publications in international renowned journals.

Klappentext
Long awaited and truly needed -- the only book to focus on this hot topic.
Heterocycles play an important role in our every day life. Vitamins, hormones, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, dyes and other products contain heterocycles, such that every organic chemist needs to know the chemistry of this substance class. Asymmetric synthesis in particular is a challenging field in today's synthetic chemistry.
Here, all aspects of the topic are presented in a compact manner, written by an international team of authors who provide important experimental procedures, including industrial applications.
This monograph is clearly structured and divided into two sections -- asymmetric synthesis of heterocycles containing only one nitrogen and that of those with more than one nitrogen as a heteroatom. This means that the necessary information may be found at a glance.
Essential for synthetic chemists in pharmaceutical and agrochemical chemistry, as well as organic and medicinal chemists, as well as those working with/on organometallics.
