Stereochemistry of optically active compounds. Problems and prospects

  • Published:
Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

The review is concerned with the fundamental ideas and concepts of chiral stereochemistry, i.e., of the stereochemistry dealing with optically active compounds, from the asymmetric synthesis to the basics of mathematics, including characterization of the principal results and the current state of this branch of science.
