Stereochemistry and Stereoselective Synthesis

Written by well-respected and experienced authors, this textbook fills the gap for a concise introduction to the key concepts of organic stereochemistry and the most important classical and modern methods in stereoselective synthesis.

The concepts are extensively illustrated in color, with practical examples and question-answer sets to help consolidate the reader’s knowledge. In addition, animations are available from the Wiley website.

A must-have for students in chemistry, biochemistry, and life sciences, as well as researchers in pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies in need of a quick introduction to the field.

"Das Buch ist sehr schön und auf den Punkt aufbereitet und eignet sich gut als Begleitwerk für organische Chemie bzw. Stereochemie Basisvorlesungen (...). Die Beispiele sind gut gewählt und decken alle relevanten Bereiche des Faches ab (...)." Prof. Dr. Mario Waser, Johannes Kepler Universität Linz, Österreich.
