Features: The author, drawing on years of experience in teaching and researching stereochemistry, has carefully selected and compiled this book. It serves as both a textbook for advanced undergraduate students in chemistry departments and a reference for graduate students. Therefore, while introducing fundamental concepts, the book also incorporates practical examples to help readers grasp the stereochemical aspects of molecules during reactions, ultimately achieving synthetic goals. For this purpose, the author has broadly divided the book into two parts: the first few chapters introduce the static structures of stereochemistry, while the latter chapters, which constitute a larger portion of the book, focus on dynamic reaction stereochemistry. The author has chosen insightful synthetic examples to illustrate these concepts, and it is hoped that readers will appreciate the power of conformational analysis after studying them. The author deeply feels that many molecular structures and their reactions are difficult to understand for readers when represented in two-dimensional form, but using conformational diagrams can make them immediately clear.
