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; and, 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.
