Stereochemical aspects of organolithium compounds - 26

Topics in Stereochemistry, previously edited by "the father of stereochemistry" Ernest L. Eliel, is a longstanding, successful series covering the most important advances in the field. The muchÔÇôanticipated Volume 26 on stereochemical aspects of organolithium compounds includes chapters on the following topics:
Ôêù Asymmetric Deprotonations Using Chiral Lithium Amide Bases
Ôêù SelfÔÇôRegeneration of Stereocenters (SRS) via Stereolabile Axially Chiral Intermediates
Ôêù Overview of Carbanion Dynamics and Electrophilic Substitutions in Chiral Organolithium Compounds
Ôêù Oxiranyllithiums as Chiral Synthons for Asymmetric Synthesis
Ôêù Test on the Configurational Stability/Lability of Organolithium Compounds
Ôêù Mechanism and Stereochemical Features in Asymmetric Deprotonation Using RLi/(ÔÇô)ÔÇôSparteine Bases
Ôêù Dynamic Resolutions of Chiral Organolithiums

Volume 26 of Topics in Stereochemistry marks the end of an era, while developing a bridge to the next generation. A new generation in publishing, parallel to a new generation in Stereochemistry mandated a new venue and modus operandi for Topics. Zurich, the home of Werner and Wislicenus, has a unique heritage in Stereochemistry. Fortunately, the Wiley familyÔǦs publishing partnerships include Verlag Helvetica Chimica Acta, a house with a reputation for superior quality in publishing. Indeed, within the pages of its namesake periodical, Helvetica Chimica Acta, one finds many of the seminal research works of stereochemistryÔǦs giants. As such, a transfer of editorial operations to Zurich and a collaboration bringing Topics as a series closer to periodical status provides a growth platform for the future.
