Stereochemistry: Conformation and MechanismPresents a new nomenclature and covers recently discovered systems. Includes a detailed study of conformational analysis of acyclic and alicyclic compounds, the relation between conformation and reactivity, and other aspects of stereochemistry, such as substitution, addition and elimination reactions. Includes numerous examples and illustrations from the Natural Product Area. |
