Organolithiums in Enantioselective Synthesis

This volume is the first dedicated to a comprehensive coverage of this rapidly developing transdisciplinary field. It provides a rich source of essential information on synthesizing molecules in an enantioselective manner using organolithiums, and serves as an inspiration for future developments.
