Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds

16Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds The first fully referenced, comprehensive book on this subject in more than thirty years, Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds contains up-to-date coverage and insightful exposition of all important new concepts, developments, and tools in the rapidly advancing field of stereochemistry, including:Asymmetric and diastereoselective synthesis - Conformational analysis - Properties of enantiomers and racemates - Separation and analysis of enantiomers and diastereoisomers - Developments in spectroscopy (including NMR), chromatography, and molecular mechanics as applied to stereochemistry - Prostereoisomerism - Conceptual foundations of stereochemistry, including terminology and symmetry concepts - Chiroptical properties.Written by the leading authorities in the field, the text includes more than 4,000 references, 1,000 illustrations, and a glossary of stereochemical terms.04Structure.Stereoisomers.Symmetry.Configuration.Properties of Stereoisomers: Stereoisomer Discrimination.Separation of Stereoisomers: Resolution, Racemization.Heterotopic Ligands and Faces (Prostereoisomerism, Prochirality).Stereochemistry of Alkenes.Conformation of Acyclic Molecules.Configuration and Conformation of Cyclic Molecules.Stereoselective Synthesis.Chiroptical Properties.Chirality in Molecules Devoid of Chiral Centers.Glossary.Index.
