Synthetic Aspects

During the last few years, the impact of organosulfur chemistry, especially in the areas of stereocontrolled processes, has led to an explosion of interest in the field. This book is intended to provide in-depth coverage of topics of interest throughout the whole range of organic sulfur chemistry, including bio-organic, physical organic, and synthetic aspects.

This books covers such topics as:Synthetic transformations involving thiiranium ion intermediatesOptically active (-ketosulfoxides and analogues in asymmetric synthesisTrends in the chemistry of 1,3-dithioacetals
