Description
Book SynopsisIntroduces a new, simplified classification for stereoselective reactions based on changes in the number of chiral centres taking place, emphasizing the three-dimensional representations of transition states in which stereoselectivity is determined.
Table of ContentsPartial table of contents:
Type 0 Reactions: Reactions in Which No New Chiral Centres Are Created.
Type I Reactions: Those Proceeding with Either Inversion or with Retention of Configuration at a Single Chiral Centre.
Simple Chirality Transfer Reactions: Those in Which a Single Chiral Centre Is Transferred with Concomitant Migration of One or More Double Bonds.
Type II Reactions: Simple Diastereoselectivity in 1,2-Additions to Alkenes, Diels-Alder and 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions and the ene Reaction.
Type II Reactions: Occasional Diastereoselectivity.
Type III Reactions: Those Involving Asymmetric Induction.
Type III Reactions of Diastereotopic and Enantiotopic Atoms and Groups;
Enzyme Catalysed Reactions.
