At the very latest, with the award of the 2001 Nobel Prize for work on asymmetric oxidation, there has been a need for a comprehensive book on such methods. Edited by J. E. Backvall, one of the world s leaders in the field, this book fills that gap by covering the topic, from classical to green chemistry methods. He has put together a plethora of well established authors from all over the world who cover every important aspect in high quality contributions whether aerobic oxidation or transition metal catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes. By providing an overview of this huge topic, this book represents an unparalleled aid for any chemist working in the field.
The chapters include: Recent Developments in the Osmium Catalyzed Dihydroxylation of Olefins; Transition Metal Catalyzed Epoxidation of Alkenes; Organocatalytic Oxidation Ketone Catalyzed Asymmetric Epoxidation of Olefins; Modern Oxidation of Alcohols using environmentally Benign Oxidants; Aerobic Oxidations and Related Reactions Catalyzed by N Hydroxyphthalimide; Ruthenium Catalyzed Oxidation of Alkenes, Alcohols, Amines, Amides, b Lactams, Phenols, and Hydrocarbons; Selective Oxidations of Sulfides and Amines Liquid Phase Oxidation Reactions Catalyzed by Polyoxometalates Oxidation of Carbonyl Compounds; and, Mn catalysed Oxidation with Hydrogen Peroxide.
