Editorial Reviews

Covers two topics: asymmetric epoxidation of allylic alcohols: the Katsuki-Sharpless epoxidation reaction, and radical cyclization reactions. The in the series of treatises each devoted to a single chemical reaction, or a definite phase of a reaction, with wide applications for laboratory researchers. The preparative perspective emphasizes limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure, and the selection of experimental techniques. Each treatment includes several detailed procedures illustrating the significant modifications of the method. The procedures have been found useful by the author or editors, but have not necessarily been subject to thorough testing. The indices are cumulative for the entire series. Annotation c.
