Basic Concepts in Organic Stereochemistry - Talapatra, Bani

. .

Résumé :
This book discusses essential stereochemical concepts associated with organic molecules (natural or synthetic), as reflected in the course of their many reactions, their mechanisms, their asymmetric synthesis, biosynthesis, and biological activities. This treatise provides useful insights and understanding of the chiral/achiral designations (nomenclatures), the stereochemical features, and related properties of the natural and synthetic products. Without having an adequate knowledge of stereochemical concepts, it will not be possible to understand and appreciate the stereochemistry of natural or synthetic products. Thus, essential static and dynamic aspects of stereochemistry with sufficient illustrative examples along with discussions are presented. The structure of the monograph allows for easy selection of separate topics for reading and teaching. This book will also provide an idea of basic stereochemical concepts, as applied to organic molecules in general as well as to organic ligands in coordination complexes, and will, therefore, be valuable resources to teachers and students of advanced undergraduates and post-graduates, researchers, and professionals.

Biographie:
Professor Sunil Kumar Talapatra has taught stereochemistry, conformational analysis, reaction mechanisms and alkaloids in the postgraduate classes of Calcutta University and Presidency College (now University), Kolkata, and has been a Guest teacher in stereochemistry in universities of W. Bengal and Tripura for more than three decades. He conducted his PhD (CU) and post-doctoral work with Professor (Mrs) Asima Chatterjee and then further post-doctoral work (4 yr) with Professor Michael P Cava at OSU, Columbus. He was a Visiting Scientist at the Illinois U (Chicago), UCSC Santa Cruz, and UCSD San Diego. As a UNESCO Senior Visiting Scientist (1982) he was briefly associated with Professors E J Corey, K Nakanishi, H Rapoport, J Meinwald, N Takahashi, K Mori, and Y Kanaoka. He is the author of more than 175 research papers and a recipient of several awards...
