Conformal diastereomers rotamers tautomers anomers: The multitude of terms used in
stereochemistry quickly makes this subfield of chemistry confusing. In addition there are
different nomenclatures and different forms of representation (Fischer projection Haworth ring
formula Newman projection). This essential deals with basic static stereochemistry and gives
an overview of the different isomeric forms and nomenclatures. It is thus both a help and a
reference book. This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st edition
essentials Einführung in die Stereochemie by Torsten Schmiermund published by Springer
Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the
help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent
human revision was done primarily in terms of content so that the book will read stylistically
differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the
development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the
authors.
