This comprehensive review of cinchona-based chiralilty inducers and their applications covers every topic, including ligands, immobilization and organocatalysis. Each chapter summarizes the scope and limitations of the new methods and technologies, while the final chapter contains carefully selected working procedures of cinchona alkaloid-promoted reactions organized according to reaction type. Invaluable reading for anyone wanting to learn about the current state of this hot topic.
This volume was presented to the Linnean Society of London. The description of some species are from the dissertation of Professor Martin Vahl (1744-1804) of Copenhagen. Additional species are described and accompanied by figures taken from the specimens themselves preserved in the Herbarium of Sir Joseph Banks. Thirteen uncolored copper plate engravings accompany the descriptions. Plates 4, 5, 7-12 were illustrated by Ferdinand L. Bauer (1760-1826) an Austrian artist
"Cinchona, the natural source of quinine, is a native tree of the slopes of the Andes. ... To meet the wartime needs of the Allied armed forces and the future needs of the civilian populations, the United States and other countries in the Western hemisphere cooperated in developing the cinchona industry in this hemisphere. ... This publication has been prepared in an effort to bring together the world literature on the diseases of cinchona."-- p. 1-2.
