Matthew L. Crawley & Barry M. Trost 
Applications of Transition Metal Catalysis in Drug Discovery and Development [EPUB ebook] 
An Industrial Perspective

This book focuses on the drug discovery and development
applications of transition metal catalyzed processes, which can
efficiently create preclinical and clinical drug candidates as well
as marketed drugs. The authors pay particular attention to
the challenges of transitioning academically-developed reactions
into scalable industrial processes. Additionally, the book lays the
groundwork for how continued development of transition metal
catalyzed processes can deliver new drug candidates. This work
provides a unique perspective on the applications of transition
metal catalysis in drug discovery and development – it is a
guide, a historical prospective, a practical compendium, and a
source of future direction for the field.
