Organosulfur Chemistry in Asymmetric Synthesis

In this first book to gather the information on this hot topic otherwise widely spread throughout the literature, experienced editors and top international authors cover everything the reader needs -- from the synthesis of chiral organosulfur compounds to applications and catalysis:* Asymmetric synthesis of chiral sulfinates and sulfoxides* Synthesis and use of chiral dithioacetal derivatives, ylids, chiral sulfoximines and sulfinamides* Use of chiral sulfoxides as ligands in catalysis* Asymmetric reactions of alpha-sulfenyl, alpha-sulfinyl and alpha-sulfonyl carbanions.As a result, readers will be able to improve their own performance in asymmetric synthesis.
