Progress in biological and biochemical research is based mainly on a better understanding of life processes on a molecular level. Modern chemical techniques for structural elucidation even of sophisticated biomolecules and theoretical and mechanistic considerations help us to understand structure-function relations, metabolic processes, molecular and cellular recognition, and the reproduction of life. This series, Bioorganic Chemistry Frontiers, will bring together critical reviews on the progress in this field.

Better understanding of life processes on a molecular level is the aim of Bioorganic Chemistry. Structure elucidation, synthesis of biomimetic models, theoretical and mechanistic concepts e.g. of enzyme action are the basic tools. The new series will bring together critical reviews on the progress in this field.

During Recent Years, Stereochemistry Has Undergone A Phenomenal Growth Both In Theory And Practice, With A Concomitant Increase Of Interest Among The Organic Chemists, Biological Chemists, Medicinal Chemists, And Pharmacologists. The Present Text Provides An Up-To-Date, Coherent; And Comprehensive Account Of The Subject Starting From The Fundamentals And Leading Up To The Latest Development As Far As Practicable. Emphasis Has Been Placed On Symmetry-Based Approach To Molecular Chirality, Stereochemical Terminologies (Modern Stereochemistry Is Replete, With Them), Topicity And Prostereoisomerism, Conformational Analysis, Dynamic Stereochemistry, Chiroptical Properties, And Assignment Of Absolute Configuration To Chiral Molecules.Dynamic Stereochemistry Has Been Discussed With Reference To Conformation-Reactivity Correlation, Stereoselective Syntheses, And Pericyclic Reactions. A Large Cross Section Of Organic Reactions With Stereochemical Implication Has Been Incorporated. Attempts Have Been Made To Familiarise The Readers With Modem Instrumental Techniques, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance In Particular, Used For Stereochemical Investigation. Each Chapter Is Provided With A Summary Which Highlights The Main Points Of The Text. Selective References, Mostly Of Textbooks, Monographs, Review Articles, And Significant Original Papers Have Been Given Extending Sometimes To Early 1991.The Book Is Expected To Fulfil The Long-Felt Need For A Comprehensive Text On Modern Organic Stereochemistry Which Is Conspicuously Absent Since The Publication Of Professor Eliels Book In 1962. The Text May Be Adopted At Any Stage Of The University Teaching And At The Same Time Be Useful To The Practising Organic Chemists.

Calixarenes was the first book to be published in the `Monographs in Supramolecular Chemistry' series and is also the first complete survey available of this rapidly developing field. It provides a fascinating and lively account of the history, development and applications of calixarenes, which are probably the world's most readily available synthetic molecular baskets. These basket shaped compounds possess the ability to hold metal ions, as well as molecules, in their interior and as a result of their extraordinarily easy synthesis from phenols and aldehydes are receiving increasingly wide attention. This book is a must for advanced undergraduates and post-graduates studying bio-organic and supramolecular chemistry.

First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
