Ein kurzgefaßtes und übersichtliches, trotzdem aussagekräftiges und kompetentes Lehrbuch der Stereochemie organischer Verbindungen! Behandelt werden vor allem die Grundgedanken und Prinzipien der Konformationsanalyse, Eigenschaften von Stereoisomeren sowie Ansätze zur Isomerentrennung. Ergänzt wird der Text durch viele Beispiele und Aufgaben.
