    Books

    "The Logic of Chemical Synthesis" E.J. Corey and X.M Cheng; Wiley (1989)
    "Molecules and Medicine" E.J. Corey, B. Czakó and L. Kürti; Wiley (2007); Book website: http://moleculesandmedicine.info
    "Enantioselective Chemical Synthesis" E.J. Corey and L. Kürti; Direct Book Publishing (2007); Book website: http://corey-kurti.com

    Further information on "Enantioselective Chemical Synthesis":

    "In Part I of this book we have tried to present clearly, comprehensively and concisely the most useful enantioselective processes available to synthetic chemists. Part II provides an extensive discussion of the most logical ways to apply these new enantioselective methods to the planning of syntheses of stereochemically complex molecules. This hitherto neglected area is essential for the advancement of enantioselective synthesis to a more rational and powerful level. Finally, Part III describes in detail many reaction sequences which have been used successfully for the construction of a wide variety of complex target molecules.""In Part I of this book we have tried to present clearly, comprehensively and concisely the most useful enantioselective processes available to synthetic chemists.
