Overview

Organolithium chemistry occupies a central position in the selective construction of C-C bonds in both simple and complex molecules. Paralleling the surge of interest in methods for asymmetric synthesis, the use of organolithiums in enantioselective synthesis has witnessed spectacular advances in a little over a decade. This volume is the first dedicated to a comprehensive coverage of this important area. It is designed to provide graduate students and researchers with a rich source of essential information on synthesising molecules in an enantioselective manner using organolithiums, and be an inspiration for future developments. Following an overview chapter summarising the key milestones, successive chapters, each written by leading experts in their field, critically survey all the major areas of progress.

This book is a valuable addition to the Topics in Organo-metallic<br>Chemistry series that has successfully culled a vast<br>topic into engaging and focused chapters through skillful<br>editorship. With minimal redundancy, the short text provides<br>comprehensive coverage of stereoselective deprotonations using<br>alkyllithiums in the presence of sparteine; the presentation<br>balances uninspiring examples with those in which the effectiveness<br>of the asymmetric depronation strategy is unsur-passed. <p>Interspersed throughout are complementary methods for<br>the creation and utilization of organolithiums in myriad reactions<br>that contribute meaningfully to the usefulness of the text. Clear<br>chapter headings and subject/author indexes make finding<br>information easy, and the volume will be a useful addition to<br>library reference collections. <br>Brian L.
