Stereochemistry (Basic Concepts In Chemistry)
Editorial Reviews
Review
"...a valuable, succinct compendium of stereochemical concepts..." (The Times Higher Education Supplement, March 1, 2002)
"...commendably teaches stereochemistry in an easily understood and engaging fashion...one of the most easily comprehensible treatments of this subject." (Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 45, No. 3, 2002)
Book Description
Stereochemistry covers the fundamental principles in all aspects of stereochemistry. This concise resource is generously enriched with numerous worked examples.  Concentrating on organic chemistry, early chapters in this resourceful publication deal mainly with definitions of terms such as chirality, enantiomers, diastereoisomers and racemisation, complete with suitable examples to illustrate key concepts. Use of a polarimeter and associated definitions are described, together with two different conventions D, L and R, S for specification of configuration. The distinction between conformation and configuration is developed to include assignment onf configurations to di-substituted cyclohexanes and to the decalins.
