Covers all facets of the synthesis of ß-amino acids As evidenced by an exponential increase in the literature published on the subject, interest in ß-amino acids has grown over the past several years. With major pharmaceutical applications, these amino acids are now studied across multiple lines of research, including combinatorial chemistry, medicinal chemistry, molecular design, proteomics, and others. This Second Edition of Enantioselective Synthesis of ß-Amino Acids updates reviews included in the First Edition while also covering new developments since its publication. The book presents detailed discussions of the most important methods for the synthesis of ß-amino acids. In most cases, the lead chemist who originally developed a method provides an authoritative description of it. In addition, Enantioselective Synthesis of ß-Amino Acids, Second Edition:* Features introductory overviews on the structural types of relevant ß-amino acid targets and salient ß-amino acids present in natural products* Dedicates several chapters to advances in the synthesis of oligomers from ß-amino acids* Includes general and practical procedures for the preparation of ß-amino acids in each chapter* Discusses the most important methods that have been recently developed for the asymmetric synthesis of cyclic and open-chain ß-amino acids* Includes a report on the preparation of libraries of enantiopure ß-amino acids using combinatorial approaches The only book of its kind available today, Enantioselective Synthesis of ß-Amino Acids, Second Edition offers upper-level students and professionals an essential resource for pharmaceutical development, medicinal chemistry, and biochemistry.

Stereochemistry remains an actively changing area of knowledge. Topics include chirality, the determination of absolute configurations, stereochemical descriptors, chiroptic properties, asymmetric synthesis, the resolution of racemates, confirmational analysis of both alkanes and heterocycles and much more. In addition to figures, equations and tables, it is profusely illustrated with examples both historical and current.

Increase your understanding of molecular properties and reactions with this accessible textbook The study of organic chemistry hinges on an understanding and capacity to predict molecular properties and reactions. Molecular Orbital Theory is a model grounded in quantum mechanics deployed by chemists to describe electron organization within a chemical structure. It unlocks some of the most prevalent reactions in organic chemistry. Basic Concepts of Orbital Theory in Organic Chemistry provides a concise, accessible overview of this theory and its applications. Beginning with fundamental concepts such as the shape and relative energy of atomic orbitals, it proceeds to describe the way these orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals, with important ramifications for molecular properties. The result is a work which helps students and readers move beyond localized bonding models and achieve a greater understanding of organic chemical interactions. In Basic Concepts of Orbital Theory in Organic Chemistry readers will also find: Comprehensive explorations of stereoelectronic interactions and sigmatropic, cheletropic, and electrocyclic reactions,Detailed discussions of hybrid orbitals, bond formation in atomic orbitals, the Hückel Molecular Orbital Method, and the conservation of molecular orbital symmetrySample exercises for organic chemistry students to help reinforce and retain essential conceptsBasic Concepts of Orbital Theory in Organic Chemistry is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry, particularly organic chemistry.
