Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c311b5/cinchona_alkaloids) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Cinchona Alkaloids in Synthesis and Catalysis: Ligands, Immobilization and Organocatalysis" to their offering.
This comprehensive review of cinchona-based chiralilty inducers and their applications covers every topic, including ligands, immobilization and organocatalysis. Each chapter summarizes the scope and limitations of the new methods and technologies, while the final chapter contains carefully selected working procedures of cinchona alkaloid-promoted reactions organized according to reaction type.
Invaluable reading for anyone wanting to learn about the current state of this hot topic.
Key Topics Covered:
- Cinchona alkaloids: The oldest but one of the most privileged chirality transmitters
- Cinchona-modified platinum catalysts for the enantioselective heterogeneous hydrogenation: From ligand acceleration to technical processes
- Osmium/Cinchona alkaloids catalyzed asymmetric dihydroxylation and asymmetric aminohydroxylation of carbon-carbon double bonds
- Cinchona-based chiral ligands in other reactions
- Cinchona alkaloid derivatives as chiral organocatalysts in carbon-carbon bond forming reactions
- Alpha-Heteroatom functionalization of carbonyl compounds
- Acyl transfer reactions: Kinetic resolution and desymmetrization reactions
- Asymmetric phase-transfer catalysts derived from the cinchona alkaloids
- Bifunctional Cinchona-based organocatalysts
- Cinchona-based chiral organocatalysts in other Reactions
- Immobilized Cinchona alkaloid derivatives in synthesis and catalysis
