Steric and stereoelectronic effects in organic chemistry In this second edition the author has thoroughly updated each chapter and expanded the content with addition of three new chapters. This book comments on several key aspects of stereochemical control of organic reactions in measured detail to allow the reader easily grasp these concepts. In addition emphasis is given to key information and important aspects of steric and stereoelectronic effects and their control on conformational profile and reactivity features. This book is not only an indispensable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying the stereochemical aspects of organic reactions but also a good reference book for all organic chemists in both industry and academia. Chapter I: Steric and stereoelectronic control of molecular structures and organic reactions Chapter II. Reactions at saturated and unsaturated carbon Chapter III: Diastereoselectivity in organic reactions Chapter IV: A(1 2) and A(1 3) strains Chapter V: The conservation of orbital symmetry (Woodward Hoffmann rules) Chapter VI: The overlap component of the stereoelectronic factor vis à vis the conservation of orbital symmetry rules Chapter VII: Torquoselectivity of conrotatory ring opening in 3 substituted cyclobutenes Chapter VIII: Hammett Substituent Constants Chapter IX. Relative aromaticity of pyrrole furan thiophene and selenophene and their Diels Alder stereoselectivity Chapter X: Miscellaneous.
