Overview
Covers all facets of the synthesis of beta-amino acids
As evidenced by an exponential increase in the literature published on the subject, interest in beta-amino acids has grown over the past several years. With major pharmaceutical applications, these amino acids are now studied across multiple lines of research, including combinatorial chemistry, medicinal chemistry, molecular design, proteomics, and others.
This Second Edition of Enantioselective Synthesis of Beta-Amino Acids updates reviews included in the First Edition while also covering new developments since its publication. The book presents detailed discussions of the most important methods for the synthesis of beta-amino acids. In most cases, the lead chemist who originally developed a method provides an authoritative description of it.
In addition, Enantioselective Synthesis of Beta-Amino Acids, Second Edition
Features introductory overviews on the structural types of relevant beta-amino acid targets and salient ssamino acids present in natural products
Dedicates several chapters to advances in the synthesis of oligomers from beta-amino acids
Includes general and practical procedures for the preparation of beta-amino acids in each chapter
Discusses the most important methods that have been recently developed for the asymmetric synthesis of cyclic and open-chain beta-amino acids
Includes a report on the preparation of libraries of enantiopure beta-amino acids using combinatorial approaches The only book of its kind available today, Enantioselective Synthesis of Beta-Amino Acids, Second Edition offers upper-level students and professionals an essential resource for pharmaceutical development, medicinal chemistry, and biochemistry
