序文を寄せたE. J. Corey博士（1990年ノーベル化学賞受賞）に始まり、B. M. Stoltz, P. S. Baran, B. M. Trost, L. Overman, F. Stoddart, E. Jacobsen, B. Listといった錚々たる顔ぶれの化学者が、各章の寄稿者として名を連ねています。林雄二郎先生をはじめ、日本の化学者も多くの章を執筆しており、この分野での日本の強さを物語っています。各章には寄稿者の伝記情報や詳細なreferenceも付き、新しい研究テーマに着手したり、研究の過程でこれまでなじみのなかった主題についての知識が必要になった際の入り口として最適です。

また本書は、同じ編者による既刊 Asymmetric Synthesis: The Essentials （2nd, Completely Revised Edition・2007年刊）の続編として、同じコンセプトで構成されています。前著を気に入った方は、ぜひ今回の新刊も併せてお揃え下さい。
