The Frontiers in Chemistry Editorial Office team are delighted to present the inaugural “Frontiers in Chemistry: Rising Stars” article collection, showcasing the high-quality work of internationally recognized researchers in the early stages of their independent careers. All Rising Star researchers featured within this collection were individually nominated by the Journal’s Chief Editors in recognition of their potential to influence the future directions in their respective fields. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of the chemical sciences, and presents advances in theory, experiment and methodology with applications to compelling problems. This Editorial features the corresponding author(s) of each paper published within this important collection, ordered by section alphabetically, highlighting them as the great researchers of the future. The Frontiers in Chemistry Editorial Office team would like to thank each researcher who contributed their work to this collection. We would also like to personally thank our Chief Editors for their exemplary leadership of this article collection; their strong support and passion for this important, community-driven collection has ensured its success and global impact. Laurent Mathey, PhD Journal Development Manager

Frontiers in Chemistry: Rising Stars

Praise for the previous editions "An excellent text . . . will no doubt provide the benchmark for comparative works for many years." —Journal of the American Chemical Society "An excellent state-of-the-art compilation of catalytic asymmetric chemistry . . . should be included in any chemistry reference collection." —Choice "This is a tremendous resource and an excellent read. I recommend immediate purchase." —Perkin Transactions Since this important work was first published in 1993, the field of catalytic asymmetric synthesis has grown explosively, spawning effective new methods for obtaining enantiomerically pure compounds on a large scale and stimulating new applications in diverse fields—from medicine to materials science. Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis, Third Edition addresses these rapid changes through contributions from highly recognized world leaders in the field. This seminal text presents detailed accounts of the most important catalytic asymmetric reactions known today, and discusses recent advances and essential information on the initial development of certain processes. An excellent working resource for academic researchers and industrial chemists alike, the Third Edition features: Six entirely new chapters focusing on novel approaches to catalytic asymmetric synthesis including non-conventional media/conditions, organocatalysis, chiral Lewis and Bronsted acids, CH activation, carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions, and enzyme-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis A new section focusing on the important new reaction, asymmetric metathesis, in carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions Updated chapters on hydrogenation, carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, hydrosilylations, carbonylations, oxidations, amplifications and autocatalysis, and polymerization reactions Retaining the best of its predecessors but now thoroughly up to date, Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis, Third Edition serves as an excellent desktop reference and text for researchers and students from the upper-level undergraduates through experienced professionals in industry or academia.

From the reviews of the First Edition . . . "An excellent text . . . will no doubt provide the benchmark forcomparative works for many years." —Journal of the American Chemical Society "A resounding success . . . the definitive current summaries ontheir respective subjects." —Synthesis Since this important work was first published in 1993, the fieldof catalytic asymmetric synthesis has grown explosively, spawningeffective new methods for obtaining enantiomerically pure compoundson a large scale and stimulating new applications in diversefields-from medicine to materials science. CatalyticAsymmetric Synthesis, Second Edition addresses these rapidchanges through new or substantially revised contributions fromhighly recognized world leaders in the field. It presents detailedaccounts of the most important catalytic asymmetric reactions knowntoday, discusses recent advances, and retains from the previousedition essential and intriguing information on the initialdevelopment of certain processes. An excellent working resource foracademic researchers and industrial chemists alike, the SecondEdition features: Contributions from Noyori, Sharpless, Kagan, Trost, Overman,Shibasaki, Doyle, Okamoto, Bolm, Carreira, and many otherinternationally renowned authorities New chapters on asymmetric carbometallations, asymmetricamplification and autocatalysis, and asymmetric polymerization Extended coverage of asymmetric carbene reactions, includingasymmetric intramolecular carbene insertion to C-H bonds as well asasymmetric dihydroxylation and aminohydroxylation Extended coverage of asymmetric carbon-carbon bond-formingreactions and applications An appendix listing all chiral ligands in the book
