This three-volume set represents the first comprehensive coverage of the rapidly expanding field of Lewis base catalysis that has attracted enormous attention in recent years. Lewis base catalysis is a conceptually novel paradigm that encompasses an extremely wide variety of preparatively useful transformations and is particularly effective for enantioselectively constructing new stereogenic centers. As electron-pair donors, Lewis bases can influence the rate and stereochemical course of myriad synthetic organic reactions. The book presents the conceptual/mechanistic principles that underlie Lewis base catalysis, and then builds upon that foundation with a thorough presentation of many different reaction types. And last but not least, the editors, Prof. Edwin Vedejs and Prof. Scott E. Denmark, are without doubt the leaders in this emerging field and have compiled high quality contributions from an impressive collection of international experts.

Lewis Base Catalysis in Organic Synthesis, 3 Volume Set

Aus dem bestehenden Material der "Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis" (EROS) werden Paquette und die Herausgeber 500 bevorzugte Reagenzien auswählen, die dann in 4 Bände entsprechend ihrer Klassifikation eingeteilt werden, z.B. Oxidations- und Reduktionsreagenzien. Die endgültigen Titel der Bände werden festgelegt, sobald die Auswahl der 500 Reagenzien vorgenommen wurde. Jeder Band wird sich in Umfang und Struktur an EROS orientieren, d.h. er verfügt über eine Einleitung, die ausgewählten Reagenzien erscheinen in alphabetischer Reihenfolge, und es gibt jeweils einen Index zu Reagenzien, Autoren und Themenkomplexen. Für jedes Reagenz werden die physikalischen und chemischen Daten detailliert angegeben, so daß der Leser den Gebrauch der jeweiligen Reagenz versteht und sicher mit ihr arbeiten kann.

Reagents, Auxiliaries, and Catalysts for C-C Bond Formation

The two chapters in Volume 84 describe transition metal catalyzed processes that form carbon-carbon bonds and carbon-oxygen bonds in very interesting and practical ways. The first chapter authored by Christina Moberg describes an important subset of one of the earliest and most important enantioselective carbon-carbon bond forming reactions that employ transition metal complexes, namely molybdenum-catalyzed, asymmetric allylic alkylations. The second chapter authored by Brian W. Michel, Laura D. Steffens, and Matthew S. Sigman deals with one of the oldest examples of transition metal catalyzed oxidation, known as the Wacker process.
