The authors have taken up the challenge of covering the progress in Lewis acid-promoted reactions. There was an intense activity in this area, especially in the 1980s and early 1990s. Due to the amount of information in this area, the authors have restricted their coverage to (1) Lewis acid-carbonyl complexes,(2) Lewis acid-promoted ene reaction,(3) Lewis acid-promoted allylsilanes and allystannanes addition to aldehydes and ketones,(4) Lewis acid-promoted acetal substitution reactions,(5) the Sakurai reaction (conjugate additions of allylsilane and allylstannane to enones), and (6) Lewis acid-promoted Diels-Alder reactions. Despite the narrower focus, this is still a formidable task, and one they have met admirably. Chapter 1 covers Lewis acidcarbonyl group interactions and their theoretical aspects. The remaining chapters cover specific reactions that have been shown to be useful in stereoselective synthesis of complex organic compounds. Each chapter starts with a historical introduction and mechanistic considerations. Where relevant, comparisons of thermal and Lewis acid-promoted reactions have been made. This is followed by well-organized examples from the literature up to 1993, with the emphasis on stereoselective reactions. Chapters 2 and 6 have good coverage of the use of chiral Lewis acids for ene and Diels-Alder reactions. The authors have done an excellent job of summarizing the advances in Lewis acid-promoted reactions for the transformations they have chosen. Except for some awkward moments (probably due to the translation), the writing is clear and easy to follow. The amount of material necessitates that some explanations be brief. The index is short but is compensated by a separate Lewis acid index. The only minor drawback is that the references are somewhat dated. With a collection of some of the more recent works, a comprehensive documentation would be at hand. Overall, this book would be an excellent addition to the library of graduate students and practitioners of organic synthesis.
