Cinchona Alkaloids in Synthesis and Catalysis: Ligands, Immobilization and Organocatalysis

"There has been a real hunger for this book amongst research fraternity and innovators. The book is sure to become dogeared as it is read, used, and reread to help evaluators conduct their work in a manner consistent with the complexity of the challenges they are addressing." (Current Engineering Practice, 2010)

"Process chemists will find much of interest in this multi-author work." (Organic Process Research & Development Journal, 2010)

"Novices as well as experts in the area of asymmetric catalysis will find this book to be a very valuable resource." (JACS, 2010)

"Cinchona Alkaloids in Synthesis & Catalysis will be warmly welcomed by many researchers, as the use of cinchona alkaloids continues to have a major impact on chemistry research. It represents the first attempt to comprehensively describe the many facets of the chemistry of this privileged compound class, which has been generously provided by nature. Song has succeeded in providing the synthesis community with a high-quality source of teaching materials as well as a useful handbook for scientists working in the exciting and fast developing field of cinchona-based asymmetric catalysis. This book will be a valuable addition to many libraries, whether personal, academic, or industrial." (Angewandte Chemie, 2010)
