Spatial Arrangement and Preparative Organic Synthesis |
|
| Authors: | L Velluz J Valls J Mathieu |
| Abstract: | This review deals with the stereoselective formation of organic compounds. A number of examples of such syntheses, especially those of alkaloids and steroids, are described. An asymmetric synthesis, which avoids the intricacies and wastefulness of optical resolution, has been successful in a few cases only. The procedures of configurational change and of optical resolution, as well as the planning of multi-step stereoselective syntheses, are discussed. |
