"...This excellent series is highly recommended to all chemists and is a requisite for all chemistry libraries." (<i>Journal of Medicinal Chemistry</i>) <p>"...it becomes clear that these latest two volumes maintain the high standard of previous volumes, but also that the whole series is a valuable treasure-house of knowledge. It is beyond question that these two further volumes, like the others, should be in every library." (<i>Angewandte Chemie International Edition</i>, Vol. 42, No 13, April 4, 2003)</p> <p>"...maintains the high level of excellence that Denmark established in Volume 22...certainly belongs in the library of every college and university that teaches organic chemistry...every scientist working in one or more of the areas covered should own a personal copy and it is highly recommended as an addition to the personal library of any professor who has an opportunity to introduce one or more of these topics to students..." (<i>Journal of the American Chemical Society</i>, Vol. 125, No. 28)</p>

<b>An essential source for the latest research in stereochemistry</b><br /><br />Since it was first published in 1967, the highly regarded Topics in Stereochemistry series has consistently reflected the state of the art in the field and provided readers with a coherent framework for the conceptual, theoretical, and practical aspects of modern stereochemistry. <i>Volume 23</i> continues to offer important insights into the evolution of stereochemistry and its future directions. Written by internationally recognized leaders in their respective fields, this volume introduces readers to some of the most intensely studied topics in research laboratories today. Along with the fundamental principles of chirality, the authors describe exciting new applications of stereochemistry in synthetic organic, physical organic, and bioorganic chemistry. They cover cutting-edge research in areas such as chirality in fullerene chemistry, chiral discrimination during crystallization, and asymmetric aldol reactions using adolases. With a cumulative index covering the entire series, <i>Volume 23</i> proves an essential resource for organic chemists involved in synthesis, as well as those in the physical and bioorganic areas of organic chemistry.
