This text for undergraduate students presents an introduction to stereochemistry--the study of the three-dimensional structure of molecules--with a focus on organic chemistry. In eight chapters, Morris (U. of Glasgow) discusses topics such as the hybridization, conformation, and configuration of simple molecules; chiral molecules; molecules with two or more stereogenic centers; stereoisomerism in cyclic structures; and substitution reactions at saturated carbon. Coverage extends to the use of NMR spectroscopy in stereochemistry. c. Book News Inc.
During Recent Years, Stereochemistry Has Undergone A Phenomenal Growth Both In Theory And Practice, With A Concomitant Increase Of Interest Among The Organic Chemists, Biological Chemists, Medicinal Chemists, And Pharmacologists. The Present Text Provides An Up-To-Date, Coherent; And Comprehensive Account Of The Subject Starting From The Fundamentals And Leading Up To The Latest Development As Far As Practicable. Emphasis Has Been Placed On Symmetry-Based Approach To Molecular Chirality, Stereochemical Terminologies (Modern Stereochemistry Is Replete, With Them), Topicity And Prostereoisomerism, Conformational Analysis, Dynamic Stereochemistry, Chiroptical Properties, And Assignment Of Absol...
Stereochemistry: A Three-Dimensional Insight draws on the knowledge of its expert authors, providing a systematic treatment on the fundamental aspects of stereochemistry, covering conformational aspects, configurational aspects, effects of bulkiness, stereoelectronic effects on properties of molecules, and the genesis of enantiomerism, among other topics. Visuals and exercises are included to consolidate the principles learned, and the contents are carefully structured to prepare readers for predicting and organizing reaction components to obtain desired stereochemical outcomes. This book is an indispensable guide for all those exploring stereochemistry within their work. The principles of s...
This volume covers static aspects of stereochemistry, including spectroscopic aspects. Emphasis is placed on dynamic stereochemistry (the stereochemistry of reactions) and calculation references. An overview is also provided of stereoselective synthesis.
A thorough understanding of stereochemistry is essential for the comprehension of almost all aspects of modern organic chemistry. It is also of great significance in many biochemical and medicinal disciplines, since the stereoisomers of a compound can have dramatically different biological properties. This text explains how the different properties of stereoisomers of a compound arise, and what processes can be used to prepare and analyze stereoisomerically pure compounds. It also presents prominent coverage of the stereochemistry of inorganic and organometallic compounds, which is likely to increase in importance, as these compounds are used as symmetric catalysts in asymmetric synthesis. Modern stereochemical terminology is used throughout, although reference is also made to older terms which are still widely used. A set of problems at the end of each chapter aims to further the reader's understanding of how the content can be applied. The book is designed mainly as a textbook for undergraduate students and as a reference source for more advanced levels, but is also intended for academic and professional organic chemists.
First published in 1991. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
A comprehensive overview of fundamental concepts of asymmetric synthesis along with in-depth discussion. Recent developments that address important synthetic challenges are presented and highlighted with hundreds of examples.
CHEMISTRY STUDENT GUIDES. GUIDED BY STUDENTS Why did the drug thalidomide cause birth defects? What is the chemical difference between sucrose and lactose in your food? Stereochemistry holds the answer and is essential to the understanding of the chemistry of life. Stereochemistry is an important concept that often causes confusion amongst students when they learn it for the first time. Unlike most other areas of chemistry, it requires the chemist to visualise molecules in 3D, which can be difficult. In this book we deal with tricky concepts like conformation and configuration, how to represent them accurately and how to use the correct terms to describe them in both organic and inorganic ch...
Conformal, diastereomers, rotamers, tautomers, anomers: The multitude of terms used in stereochemistry quickly makes this subfield of chemistry confusing. In addition, there are different nomenclatures and different forms of representation (Fischer projection, Haworth ring formula, Newman projection). This essential deals with basic static stereochemistry and gives an overview of the different isomeric forms and nomenclatures. It is thus both a help and a reference book. This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st edition essentials, Einführung in die Stereochemie by Torsten Schmiermund, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
Stereochemistry and Organic Reactions: Conformation, Configuration, Stereoelectronic Effects and Asymmetric Synthesis provides 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 workin...
