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
