Stereochemistry at a Glance

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Stereochemistry deals with the three-dimensional arrangement ofatoms in molecules. All chemical reactions take place threedimensions and the spatial arrangement of those atoms can have aprofound effect on the outcome of a chemical reaction. A goodunderstanding of stereochemistry is, therefore, fundamental to anydetailed appreciation and study of organic chemistry.

Based on the highly successful at a Glance series fromBlackwell Publishing, this book provides a concise introduction andoverview of stereochemistry for students studying chemistry andrelated courses at undergraduate level. It then reinforces thatoverview by presenting 49 fully worked out stereochemistryproblems, presented in the familiar at a Glance double pagelayout. A further 98 supplementary problems, with abbreviatedanswers, are designed to help the undergraduate student rapidlydevelop the knack of thinking in three dimensions, and generate theconfidence to apply their knowledge of stereochemistry in theclassroom,the exam room or the laboratory.

Graphical presentation of information is central to the book. Asbefits such a visual subject, this facilitates the rapidassimilation and understanding of the basic concepts, principlesand definitions of stereochemistry. Students using Stereochemistry at a Glance will find they have a resourcewith which they can quickly, economically and confidently acquire,regularly review and revise the basic facts that underpinstereochemistry.
