Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds

Stereochemistry 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.
