This book is unique with a complete coverage of the developments in the last 10 years by experts in the field with up-to-date information. It presents main advances that inspired chemists in the last decade of a large segment of organic chemistry in a nutshell. Consequently, it retains the main features of previous books from Peter I. Dalko on Enatioselective Organocatalysis , with two notable differences: (i) a larger number of conscise chapters are covered with developments in a rapidly expanding field, (ii) Experimental procedures are not
presented, as most of them are similar to those already discussed in previous books

Autorentext
Peter I. Dalko (1960) completed his graduate studies at the Technical University of Budapest (BME), and earned his PhD at Paris XI, France under the supervision of Stéphane D. Gero. After a post-doctoral internship with Derek H. R. Barton (Texas A & M University, USA), and Yoshito Kishi (Harvard University, USA) he is working at the Paris Cité University, France, (CNRS). His group is focusing on the development of enantiocatalytic reactions for organic synthesis, the design and application of light-sensitive molecular probes allowing accurate 4-dimensional control of biological events in complex tissues, and on the preparation of remotely controllable drug delivery systems with imaging ability.
