Stereoselective Syntheses of Tetrahydropyrans

In his book, Kiyoun Lee describes his studies into tandem and organocatalytic oxa-conjugate addition reactions for the synthesis of complex tetrahydropyrans. These reactions are applicable to a range of substrates and proceed with excellent stereoselectivity.

Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by Duke University, USA Pursues a clearly structured and easy-to-follow methodology Provides straightforward figures of target molecules Includes easy-to-find references for further reading
