Stereoselective Synthesis Robert S. Atkinson University of
Leicester, Leicester. UK Stereoselective Synthesis considers the
methods available for the synthesis of simple target molecules, the
majority containing not more than two chiral centres, as single
stereoisomers. This volume focuses on the factors which give rise
to the stereoselectivity and classifies stereoselective reactions
accordingly. This classification, and the extensive use of 3-D
representations, enables the student to understand the
stereochemistry of these reactions and hence apply them to the
synthesis of previously unseen target molecules as single
stereoisomers. Stereoselective Synthesis presents:
- a new, unique, simplified classification for stereoselective
reactions based on the number of chiral centres created in the
product by comparison with the number present in the starting
material
- coverage of the majority of important reaction types used in
modern stereoselective synthesis
- a detailed analysis of factors which bring about asymmetric
induction: the interplay between steric and electronic effects, the
importance of conformational control and the advantages of
intramolecularity in reactions
- emphasis on synthesis of simple target molecules and on those
steps which involve stereochemistry
- realistic 3-D representations of transition states in which
stereoselectivity is created
- stereochemical vocabulary in accordance with IUPAC rules
Stereoselective Synthesis is an invaluable aid not only to students
in understanding this important area but also to those actively
engaged in the syntheses of target molecules as single
stereoisomers.
