Phosphorus Chemistry II Synthetic Methods [Hardcover]

Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.Recent Advances Regarding P-BH3 Compounds.- Synthesis of Non-racemic alpha-Hydroxy Phosphonates via Asymmetric Phospho-Aldol Reaction.- Recent Advances in H-Phosphonate Chemistry.
