Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At long last, the complete spectrum of the aldol reaction is presented here in this two-volume handbook. Top authors guarantee contributions of the highest quality, beginning with fundamentals and then moving on to enolates and catalytic aldol reactions, including the Mukaiyama Reaction. Further sections are devoted to enzymatic aldol reactions in synthesis as well as such related reactions as the Henry, Ene and Aldol-Tishchenko reactions. The wealth of information contained here allows a comprehensive overview of this important topic in organic chemistry, removing the need for the hitherto time-consuming research among the widely dispersed literature. With a foreword by Professor D. A. Evans.
