'Established research workers in universities and indsustry will enjoy the unfolding drama of Mukaiyama's work... Final-year undergraduates will find much of this work is now part of their courses. Any lover of organic chemistry will recognise another in Mukaiyama and will relish the approach.' Times Higher Education Supplement

Although this book is restricted to one man's work, Mukaiyama is a man of such broad interests that it is an instructive introduction to modern organic synthetic methods, and he is the first to acknowledge his many collaborators, many of whom now are active research workers in their own right. Established research workers in universities and industry will enjoy the unfolding drama of Mukaiyama's work. Research students will appreciate the accounts of the development of each area and will be able to count the number of PhDs needed for each to be judged complete. Final-year undergraduates will find much of this work is now part of their courses. Any lover of organic chemistry will recognise another in Mukaiyama and will relish the approach, whenever it is revealed. --The Times Higher Education Supplement<br> A source book that is interesting reading. . . .This book portrays elegant synthetic organic chemistry in the framework of international science -- conducted by a talented scholar. --Journal of the American Chemical Society<br>
