Asymmetric Oxidation

This book 'Asymmetric Oxidation' is an interesting portrait about the oxidation with some example in nature,human body & living organization. Oxidation is about manmade things Asymmeric oxidation chemistry in this book is the base of organic oxidation reactions.Chapter 1 describes the applicative organic oxidation reactions. What are the substrates, product(selective/Non-selective) and the oxidizing agents. We straight want to dicusss about the epoxide in this book.when epoxidation is invented & which process is commercialized is described.Epoxide is used with some product is given in this chapter. Chapter 2 shows how alkene is epoxidized by use of some catalyst. Chapter 3 devotes for structural study for the epoxidation methods. Chapter 4 Shows different type of asymmetric epoxidation. Chapter 5 indicates mechanistic study of electon,radical,bond making ,bond breaking,weak interactions between metal & oxygen also between substrate & oxygen.The stereo-electronic factors of substituents on substrates & on catalyst are important.
