Catalytic cascade reactions

"The development of catalytic versions of cascade reactions has become one of the most active and burgeoning reaction areas in organic synthesis. Covering both organocatalysis and transition-metal catalysis for these reactions, Catalytic Cascade Reactions illustrates the versatility and application of cascade reactions for synthesizing valuable compounds, such as drugs and natural products. Highlighting catalytic versus non-catalytic reactions, an important shift in academic and industry practice, the text brings chemists and the organic synthesis community up to speed on the many recent advances in the field"--

"This book covers recent and important discoveries and activities in catalytic cascade reactions, an emerging and dynamic direction for organic synthesis"--
