"This book covers advances in the methods of catalytic asymmetric synthesis and their applications. Coverage moves from new materials such as chiral ionic liquids, supported catalysts and flow reactors; to homogeneous metal-free catalysts and homogeneous metal catalysts. The applications of several methodologies for the synthesis of biologically active molecules are discussed. Part I addresses recent advances in new technologies related to asymmetric catalysis. Part II covers advances and milestones with amino acids, both natural and unnatural, as powerful organocatalysts - including applications for the synthesis of biologically active molecules"--
