Topics in Stereochemistry, Volume 4

by Norman L. Allinger (Editor)

Provides in-depth coverage of organic stereochemistry. Topics include a discussion of aldol diastereoselection under thermodynamic and kinetic control, enantioselection in aldol condensations involving chiral reactants, applications of molecular mechanics calculations to organic chemistry, and much more. Brings together the disciplines of surface chemistry and stereochemistry to demonstrate that the properties of stereoisomers may be useful in extending the understanding of the weak yet important molecular forces that operate in surface monolayers.
