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. 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. Stereochemistry and Organic Reactions Book Review:
The Present Revised Edition Also Includes Numerous Important Developments Since The Third Edition Of The Book Was Published. Several Topics Like Aromaticity, Pericyclic Reactions And Heterocyclic Chemistry Have Now Been Brought Up To Date And The Material Provided Is Complete In Itself.The Presentation Has Been So Designed So As To Thread Through The Entire Organic Chemistry By The Application Of The Knowledge Learnt In One Topic To Newer Situations In Other Topics. Emphasis Has Been Laid On A Variety Of New Reactions, Name Reactions, Reagents In Organic Synthesis And Incorporation Of Their Knowledge In The Entire Coverage Of Organic Chemistry In A Unique Way.A Thorough Study Of The Book Is Expected To Help The Student To Excel Not Only In The University Examination Including The Net Examination, But Also In His Learning Of Various Topics And Before Interview Boards. This Necessitated The Deletion Of Several Topics From The Third Edition And Incorporation Of New Ones. The Present 4Th Edition Has Been Completely Rewritten According To The Organic Chemistry Syllabus Of The Net (Csir) Examination. The Book Provides A Self-Study Of Different Topics Of Organic Chemistry Viab Problem Solving. Organic Reactions Stereochemistry And Mechanism Through Solved Problems Book Review:
