Reactivity in Molecular Crystals

Book excerpt: Do you need to design syntheses that are * highly selective * fast * enantioselective with quantitative enantiomeric yield? This book describes in detail how best to exploit the enormous synthetic potential of solid state reactions. Written by leading experts, it provides in-depth information on * the theoretical and physico-chemical approach to solid state reactions * solid-to-solid organic reactions * stereoselective solid state photoreactions * reactivity and crystal structure An ideal companion to Dunitz and Bürgi's 'Structure Correlation', this book will be highly useful to synthetic organic chemists, stereochemists, crystallographers, and solid-state chemists
