Closing a gap in the literature, this comprehensive book presents the utility of carbohydrate derivatives as chiral auxiliaries, reagents, complex ligands and organocatalysts, together with details of their preparation, as well as their successful application in stereoselective synthesis. Divided into four parts: * Carbohydrate Auxiliaries * Carbohydrate Reagents * Carbohydrate Ligands * Carbohydrate Organocatalysts It is an indispensable source for every organic chemist.

Endlich ist eine Lücke geschlossen: Diese unentbehrliche Informationsquelle zeigt Ihnen, was Sie mit und aus Kohlenhydraten in der stereoselektiven Synthese alles machen können (chirale Auxiliare, Reagenzien, komplexe Liganden, organische Katalysatoren). Dazu werden die jeweiligen Synthesewege ausführlich und nachvollziehbar erklärt.
