Stereochemistry and Organic Reactions: Conformation, Configuration, Stereoelectronic Effects and Asymmetric Synthesisprovides coverage on the stereochemistry of reactions of all mechanistic types, ranging from ionic, pericyclic and transition metal-catalyzed to radical and photochemical. Chapters cover acyclic molecules, cyclic molecules, the stereochemistry of organic reactions, the perturbation molecular orbital theory for the origin of stereoelectronic effects, and an introduction to the principles of stereoselectivity and hierarchical levels of asymmetric synthesis. Each chapter includes problems that reinforce main themes, making it valuable to students, teachers and researchers working in organic, biological and medicinal chemistry, as well as biologists, pharmacologists, polymer chemists and chemists. Presents a holistic and unified approach to stereochemical understanding and predictions, covering reactions of all mechanistic classesIncludes two background chapters on perturbation theory and stereoselective principles, along with asymmetric designsFeatures novel rules and mnemonics to delineate product stereochemistryIncludes up-to-date coverage with over 1300 selective references | Stereochemistry And Organic Reactions by Dipak Kumar Mandal, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
