Summary:

Chiral molecules are needed for the production of many pharmaceuticals and materials, and catalytic asymmetric synthesis provides a powerful method for the preparation of such chiral products. For the synthesis of complex molecules, such as natural products and biologically active compounds, more than one catalytic reaction may be necessary and tandem catalysis refers to the combination of catalytic reactions into one synthetic operation with minimum work up or change in conditions. By combing catalysts it enables a more efficient, economical and selective one pot approach for complex molecule synthesis which could not be achieved through single specific catalytic systems. The challenge is finding the right catalyst which is compatible with other catalysts but also tolerates reagents, solvent and intermediates generated during the course of the reaction. Enantioselective Multicatalysed Tandem Reactions provides an overview of all developments in the area. The first part of the book covers asymmetric tandem reactions catalysed by multiple catalysts from the same discipline (multiple organocatalysts, two metals and multiple enzymes). The second part looks at tandem reactions catalysed by multiple catalysts from different disciplines including reactions catalysed by a combination of metals and organocatalysts, reactions catalysed by a combination of metals and enzymes, and finally reactions catalysed by a combination of organocatalysts and enzymes. The book will appeal to researchers and professionals in academic and industrial laboratories interested in catalysis, biocatalysis and organic synthesis of chiral compounds. Book jacket.
