Eliel, muel H. Wilen, Samuel H. Wilen, Lewis N. Get Books. Stereochemistry Conformation and Mechanism. Stereochemistry has always occupied a central position and is pivotal to the practice of organic chemistry. A solid understanding of this subject is indeed critical to subsequent success in a science career.

Stereochemistry is, therefore, a core constituent both at the undergraduate and postgraduate chemistry courses. This seventh edition is. Authors: V. Ahluwalia, Ane Books Private Limited. This textbook provides a simple approach to understand the various complex aspects of stereochemistry.

It deals with basic static stereochemistry and gives an overview of the different isomeric forms and nomenclatures. If you are doing synthesis and could City College of the City University of New York , and have only a few books at your disposal, this should be Lewis N.

ISBN Michael B. NPD There are more than cited references to allow the S 96 reader access to more detailed information if needed.

There are fourteen chapters that cover all aspects of stereochemistry, from its origins in molecules, to no- menclature, to techniques for determining relative and Desk Reference for Organic Chemists. The book contains definitions of all terms and elabo- This handy little volume contains several very useful rate discussions of each concept and related topics, along tables of data for organic chemists and researchers in with pertinent examples of each.

Techniques for struc- related areas such as natural products and medicinal ture determination are presented, along with working chemistry. The first chapter pp consists of a list definitions of various stereoisomers such as enantiomer, of some chemical acronyms, from A actin or diastereomer, etc. This optical rotatory dispersion. Many techniques used to is a very useful compilation, particularly when the determine these properties are also discussed.

Some of reader is attempting to decipher a paper in a field the salient features of the book are definitions and outside his or her own area and meets an unfamiliar discussions of relative and absolute configuration; prop- acronym. The list does highlight one problem with the erties of stereoisomers and how to distinguish them; the uncritical use of acronyms, which is that the same basis of resolution and methods for resolution; defini- acronym can have very different meanings in different tions and discussions of prochirality and prostereoiso- contexts.

Thus, DAP can be dibasic ammonium phos- mers; and stereochemistry in alkenes, cyclic and acyclic phate, diallyl phthalate, or diaminopimelic acid, and molecules, and molecules with chiral axes.

In short, this only the context or possibly a footnote will indicate book contains everything you want to know about which is intended. Chapter 3 12 pp is a short gives the bases of stereoselective and stereospecific but useful glossary of stereochemical and synthetic syntheses, as well as definitions.

The chapter is orga- terms, with a few references to more comprehensive nized primarily by reaction type acyl addition, pericyclic resources on the subject. This type of material is also available in the based processes, etc.

Merck Index; although it was removed for the 11th A very useful feature is the glossary, which provides Edition, it has been reinstated by popular request in formal definitions of important terms and concepts. Use the 12th Edition. A helpful feature of this section is of the glossary for a definition then requires transfer to that each named reaction has at least one literature the index to find that term or concept in the text. Chapter 5 20 pp is a list of named working chemists shelf and also belong to every student reagents, and the book concludes with a list of review of Organic Chemistry.

Given the major importance of references Chapter 6, pp. These papers cover a wide the references were in common.
