In this book the reader is presented with a comprehensive overview of fundamental concepts of asymmetric synthesis along with in-depth discussion of strategies for the synthesis and stereoselective interconversion of compounds exhibiting central axial and planar chirality, numerous racemization and diastereomerization reactions. Details of analytical methods are provided and discussed as well as topics relating to the design of fascinating topologically chiral assemblies and molecular technomimetic devices in the context of dynamic stereochemistry. Strategies and recent developments that address important synthetic challenges are also presented. This exceptional book includes: - more than 550 figures, schemes and tables illustrating mechanisms of numerous asymmetric reactions and stereomutations of chiral compounds -Technical drawings illustrating the conceptual linkage between macroscopic devices such as turnstiles, ratchets, brakes, bevel gears or knots and molecular analogs. - More than 3000 references to encourage further reading and facilitate additional literature research - A comprehensive glossary with stereochemical definitions and terms which facilitate understanding and reinforce learning This book will be of particular interest to undergraduates, graduates and professionals working and reseraching in the fields of organic synthetic chemistry and analytical chemistry.
