Overview: Recent advancements in the field of asymmetric synthesis havebeen triggered by the challenges this field has offered to syntheticorganic chemists, and the importance of preparing optically activecompounds of medical value. Newly developed asymmetric organicreactions combined with improvements and novel applications ofpreviously known reactions have created the need for this currentvolume. Presenting findings reported in 1991, this book coversasymmetric oxidations, reductions, carbon-- carbon bond formations,carbon--heteroatom bond formations, enzymatic hydrolysis, resolutionand trans
