Modern Aldol Reactions, 2 Volume Set

Born in 1950, Rainer Mahrwald studied chemistry at MLU Halle and subsequently joined the "Manfred von Ardenne" Research Institute in Dresden, where he led the synthetics group. He gained his doctorate under G. Wagner in Leipzig in 1979, and went on to the Institute of Organic Chemistry at the Academy of Science in Berlin, where he remained until 1990. Following a stay at the Philipps-University in Marburg, Dr. Mahrwald qualified as a lecturer at the Humboldt University Berlin, where he is now a private lecturer.

"This two-volume work is very rewarding reading, and can be strongly recommended for everyone who is seriously engaged in using modern aldol reactions - especially for diastereo- and enantioselectivity - or intends to enter the field. The editor and authors have achieved a well-balanced mixture of fundamentals and detailed description of methods and applications."Angewandte Chemie IE "This set will be a valuable addition to the library of researchers in the field and for graduate-level students."CHOICE "This two-volume set provides much needed comprehensive coverage of modern aldol reactions, an area of tremendous current activity, interest, and importance."Journal of the American Chemical Society "I recommend it highly to all students and research workers interestes in synthetic organic chemistry, and conclude that it is a "must-have" publication for all libraries serving a synthetic research community."Applied Organometallic Chemistry "...a most useful addition to any collection serving researchers and students in synthetic organic chemistry, or pharmacologists and others ..."E-STREAMS
