Conformational Behavior of Six-membered Rings - Analysis, Dynamics and Stereoelectronic Effects (Methods in Stereochemical Analysis)

There have been many new developments in the field of conformational analysis of six-membered carbocycles and heterocycles, but the most recent literature on the subject is mainly scattered throughout research publications in different areas of chemistry. This volume reviews the new information, which is becoming increasingly important in the organic-, physical organic- and biochemistry of understanding how conformational effects govern the shapes of molecules and their intermolecular interactions. The book should be of interest to organic chemists, biochemists, stereo chemists, structural chemists and pharmaceutical chemists.

This title is the first to provide an in depth and much needed review of the exciting recent developments in conformational six-membered carbocycles and hetrocycles. This book provides authoritative discussions on the importance of conformation in stereoelectronic effects, stereoselective synthesis, and intermolecular phenomena in organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. The review of a wealth of new material, the intriguing discussions of current topics, and the utilization of both theory and results make this title important to all those involved with organic and physical organic chemistry.
