volumes of Stereoselective Synthesis provide an invaluable resource to the practicing synthetic organic chemist. "Stereoselective Synthesis 1" covers stereoselective reactions of carbon-carbon double bonds. These reactions are highly attractive as they are additions, and thus by nature highly atom-economic. Specific topics discussed include stereoselective addition of one or more carbon or heteroatom groups across a C=C bond (e.g., dihydroxylation, hydroboration, hydroamination, conjugate addition) as well as epoxidation, aziridination, and cyclopropanation. This volume is part of the three-volume set "Stereoselective Synthesis" (ISBN 978-3-13-166421-1).
