Contains coverage and insightful exposition of important concepts, developments, and tools in the field of stereochemistry, including: Asymmetric and diastereoselective synthesis; Conformational analysis; Properties of enantiomers and racemates; Separation and analysis of enantiomers and diastereoisomers; and, Chiroptical properties.

Stereoisomers are compounds with the same chemical formula and connectivity but with different arrangements of their atoms in 3-dimensional space. Stereochemistry encompasses the study of stereoisomers and their properties. Despite having an identical chemical formula, stereoisomers can have drastically different biological, medicinal, and chemical properties. Basic Organic Stereochemistry explains in clear, concise terms the concepts and properties of stereoisomers.
Ideal both as a text for advanced undergraduate or graduate students and as a handy guide for researchers in industry,...
