The Anomeric Effect


Book Description

This book provides a comprehensive review of the structural, conformational, and chemical manifestations of the anomeric effect. In order to present a cogent discussion of this most fundamental and relevant phenomenon, three chapters examine our present understanding of the origin of this conformational effect, based upon a wealth of theoretical and physical data. Equally important, however, are three additional chapters that deal with the general consequences of the stereoelectronic interactions that are associated with the basis of the anomeric effect. The remainder of the book is devoted to new areas of development in the topic-such as differentiation of the endo and exo anomeric interactions, specific analysis of the enthalpic component of anomeric effects, critical evaluation of the kinetics and reverse anomeric effects, discovery of a new substantial effect in second- and lower-row anomeric segments, and others.







Electrostatic and Stereoelectronic Effects in Carbohydrate Chemistry


Book Description

The book deals with polar effects in carbohydrates and how these effects control the stereochemistry of carbohydrate reactions. This is important for understanding the mechanisms of certain carbohydrate reactions, including enzymatic reactions such as glycosidases, a very important group of enzymes in living matter. It is also very useful for synthetic carbohydrate chemists who would like to synthesize stereoselectively certain classes of carbohydrates. This book will be a very important source of information for practicing synthetic carbohydrate chemists. The book will also be helpful for organic chemists, or for those studying glycobiology.




The Anomeric Effect and Associated Stereoelectronic Effects


Book Description

Discusses contemporary experimental and computational studies on the anomeric effect and related stereoelectronic effects and presents conflicting data and theories in this highly controversial area. Explores applications in carbohydrate chemistry, including enzymology, as well as organometallic chemistry and the chemistry of phosphates and sulfates. Includes examination of molecular modeling methods in compounds influenced by stereoelectronic effects.




Advanced Organic Chemistry


Book Description

The two-part, fifth edition of Advanced Organic Chemistry has been substantially revised and reorganized for greater clarity. The material has been updated to reflect advances in the field since the previous edition, especially in computational chemistry. Part A covers fundamental structural topics and basic mechanistic types. It can stand-alone; together, with Part B: Reaction and Synthesis, the two volumes provide a comprehensive foundation for the study in organic chemistry. Companion websites provide digital models for study of structure, reaction and selectivity for students and exercise solutions for instructors.




Oxygen: The Key to Stereoelectronic Control in Chemistry


Book Description

Although carbon is considered the central element of organic chemistry, the broader chemical world has one more star player—oxygen. Billions of years of evolution have filled your room with oxygen as countless cyanobacteria and plants work on changing our planet. Oxygen is everywhere—from geology to biology, from the Earth's crust to the ozone layer. This digital primer aims to analyze chemical reactivity through the prism of oxygen chemistry. The key to understanding this chemistry is the lone pairs of oxygen (i.e., the underutilized "idle" electrons that do not directly contribute to the Lewis structure of molecules). By highlighting the many roles of oxygen, we will illustrate how chemistry rises above the limitations of Lewis structures and how electrons stay neither idle nor "lone" even if they are in "lone pairs" when an oxygen atom is near a reaction center. This digital primer will introduce important types of chemical bonding that transcend undergraduate textbooks but that are likely to drive the development of new chemical reactions in the future.
