Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This book, "Stereochemistry-An Introduction", provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles and concepts of stereochemistry. It aims to introduce readers to the various types of chirality, focusing on the structural features and properties that give rise to enantiomers and diastereomers.
- Axial chirality and its manifestation in allenes and spiranes
- Atropisomerism and its relationship to restricted rotation
- Planar chirality and its occurrence in various molecular systems
- Helical chirality and its application in understanding natural and synthetic compounds
- Cyclosteroisomerism and its impact on conformational analysis
Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
- Chapter 1: Axial Chirality: This chapter introduces the concept of axial chirality, explaining how elongation of a tetrahedron along an axis leads to a chiral center. It delves into the structural features of allenes, biphenyls, and spiranes that exhibit this type of chirality.
- Chapter 2: Atropisomers: This chapter focuses on atropisomers, which are stereoisomers that arise due to hindered rotation around a single bond. It explores the factors influencing atropisomerism and the implications for molecular properties and reactivity.
- Chapter 3: Planar Chirality: This chapter discusses planar chirality, a type of chirality that arises from a molecule's planar structure. It examines various examples of planar chiral molecules, including those with restricted rotation and those with specific substituent arrangements.
- Chapter 4: Helical Chirality: This chapter explores helical chirality, a type of chirality arising from the helical arrangement of atoms in a molecule. It examines how helical chirality is found in natural and synthetic compounds and its impact on their properties and biological activity.
- Chapter 5: Cyclosteroisomerism: This chapter delves into cyclosteroisomerism, a type of chirality associated with the cyclic structure of molecules. It discusses the influence of ring size, substituent positions, and conformational flexibility on the stereochemistry of cyclic compounds.
