Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the very latest, with the award of the 2001 Nobel Prize for work on asymmetric oxidation, there has been a need for a comprehensive book on such methods. Edited by J.-E. Backvall, one of the world's leaders in the field, this book fills that gap by covering the topic, from classical to green chemistry methods. He has put together a plethora of well-established authors from all over the world who cover every important aspect in high-quality contributions -- whether aerobic oxidation or transition metal-catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes. By providing an overview of this huge topic, this book represents an unparalleled aid for any chemist working in the field. Chapters include: Recent Developments in the Osmium-Catalyzed Dihydroxylation of Olefins Transition Metal-Catalyzed Epoxidation of Alkenes Organocatalytic Oxidation - Ketone-Catalyzed Asymmetric Epoxidation of Olefins Modern Oxidation of Alcohols using environmentally Benign Oxidants Aerobic Oxidations and Related Reactions Catalyzed by N-Hydroxyphthalimide Ruthenium-Catalyzed Oxidation of Alkenes, Alcohols, Amines, Amides, b-Lactams, Phenols, and Hydrocarbons Selective Oxidations of Sulfides and Amines Liquid Phase Oxidation Reactions Catalyzed by Polyoxometalates Oxidation of Carbonyl Compounds Mn-catalysed Oxidation with Hydrogen Peroxide
