Stereochemistry - Workbook

This workbook in stereochemistry is designed for students, lecturers and scientists in chemistry, pharmacy, biology and medicine who deal with chiral chemical compounds and their properties. It serves as a supplement to textbooks and seminars and thus provides practice for students using the convention and terminology of the exact 3D-description of chemical compounds in selected examples. The book coverage spans: physiological and pharmacological relevant compounds; inorganic molecules for the determination of configuration; conformation and point groups; as well as the stereoselective synthesis of organic molecules. The 191 problems with extended solutions contain many examples of compounds which are of practical use and have been gathered by the authors during their lectures and scientific work.
