Asymmetric Synthesis V1

Asymmetric Synthesis, Volume 1: Analytical Methods covers the major analytical methods used to determine enantiomeric ratios. This volume contains chapters that discuss the methods used to obtain chiral compounds and shows how to evaluate the chiral efficiency of an asymmetric synthesis. Analytical methods such as polarimetry, competitive reaction methods, isotope dilution, gas and liquid chromatography, and nuclear magnetic resonance methods are also discussed. Chemists and researchers in the field of pharmaceutical will find the book very useful.
