An essential source for the latest research in stereochemistry
Since it was first published in 1967, the highly regarded Topics in Stereochemistry series has consistently reflected the state of the art in the field and provided readers with a coherent framework for the conceptual, theoretical, and practical aspects of modern stereochemistry. Volume 23 continues to offer important insights into the evolution of stereochemistry and its future directions. Written by internationally recognized leaders in their respective fields, this volume introduces readers to some of the most intensely studied topics in research laboratories today. Along with the fundamental principles of chirality, the authors describe exciting new applications of stereochemistry in synthetic organic, physical organic, and bioorganic chemistry. They cover cutting-edge research in areas such as chirality in fullerene chemistry, chiral discrimination during crystallization, and asymmetric aldol reactions using adolases. With a cumulative index covering the entire series, Volume 23 proves an essential resource for organic chemists involved in synthesis, as well as those in the physical and bioorganic areas of organic chemistry.

Topics in Stereochemistry covers the fundamental principles of physical chemistry and molecular physics while dealing with certain stereochemical aspects of organic chemistry and biochemistry.
