Organic Stereochemistry: Guiding Principles and Biomedicinal Relevance

This book should become an indispensable asset on the bookshelves of pharmaceutical laboratories in academia and in industry, as well as of laboratories devoted to plant protection. I am convinced that studying this book will be an eye–opener for many scientists in the field of life sciences. Furthermore, for teachers in this area it will not only be a useful compilation of the various languages and definitions of organic stereochemistry, but also a welcome source of examples for demonstrating to their students the intricate and intriguing role stereochemistry plays in the chemistry of life.   Prof. Dr. Dieter Seebach Laboratory of Organic Chemistry ETH Zurich, Switzerland
