Featuring 40% more content, this new edition captures the trends and major achievements in the art of making chiral chemical compounds on an industrial scale by assembling contributions from world leaders in the respective areas to provide a compact and qualified insight into this field. A plethora of case studies are included on the development of as many large-scale enantioselective processes as possible, showing the "real life" of this challenging field. As a result, this ready reference and handbook collates first-hand and valuable information within a context where it can be easily found. The high-quality contributions illustrate the relevant environments and situations, such as time pressure, how the catalytic step fits into the over-all synthesis, or competition with other synthetic approaches, as well as the typical problems encountered in the various phases, including finding/developing the catalyst and optimization of the process or choice of equipment. Both successful and unsuccessful approaches to solve these problems are described.
