"…well-written with clear, focused schemes…of great value to those involved in synthetic methodology, catalysis, and total synthesis." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, October 19, 2005)

"This fascinating monograph captures the diversity and power of an area of research whose roots extend deep within the organic chemistry literature, yet which has only recently achieved critical mass through the collective contributions of many present-day pioneers.... is an essential addition to both academic and industrial research libraries, as well as to the personal collection of any scientist with an interest in catalysis or synthetic chemistry." (Angewandte Chemie I.E.)

"This book can be recommended for all scientists working in the area of asymmetric catalysis, whether in industrial research and development or at the universities." (Synthesis, February 2006)
