Features: This book introduces the latest research findings and progress in asymmetric catalytic reactions, suitable for senior undergraduate students, master's and doctoral students in relevant fields, as well as engineering technicians in related disciplines. The book summarizes the author's 20 years of research achievements in asymmetric catalytic reactions and is based on original literature and latest developments in this field since the late 1980s (mainly in the past 10 years). It consists of 12 chapters, covering the basic principles of asymmetric hydrogenation, asymmetric epoxidation, asymmetric isomerization, asymmetric hydroxylation, asymmetric hydrosilylation, asymmetric cyclopropanation and aziridination, as well as asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions and asymmetric phase-transfer catalytic reactions. The applications of asymmetric catalytic reactions in fields such as pharmaceuticals, food additives, pesticides, fragrances, and special materials for electronic components are introduced in various chapters.
