The Story
This volume describes the lifes work of Professor Teruaki Mukaiyama, one of Japans most important and respected synthetic organic chemists. It includes information on his early research into a wide range of reactions, including dehydration reactions, the use of organosulfer compounds, and oxidationreduction condensations in peptide and nucleotide synthesis reagents, as well as an account of Mukaiyamas important work on the applications of titanium compounds in organic synthesis. Three final chapters review Mukaiyamas work in synthetic control, stereoselective synthesis of carbohydrates, the stereoselective aldol, and Michael reactions. This unique book makes accessible much research that has only been available in Japanese, and provides a rare account of the contributions of one of the worlds leading chemists.
