Stereoselectivity in synthesis

In planning a synthesis, how does one select the appropriate method for making the preferred stereoisomer? Stereoselectivity in Synthesis answers this question and much more. Highly respected scientist Tse-Lok Ho offers a systematic review of the synthetic literature, addressing the proliferation, in recent years, of methodologies related to reaction stereoselectivity.

He extracts the most useful examples to illustrate the basic principles of organic stereochemistry and its application, and helps readers solve real-world stereochemical problems in organic and medicinal chemistry as well as in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food industries.
