Buckingham J., Hill R.A. Atlas of Stereochemistry: Absolute Configurations of Organic Molecules. Supplement

2-nd Ed., — Springer-Science+Business Media, 1986. — 304 p. — ISBN: 978-0-412-26000-1
Tbe determination of absolute configurations is now a central and routine part of research in organic chemistry and biochemistry. Since the publication of the second edition of the Atlas in 1978, many hundred further important determinations have been carried out, more than
justifying the present publication of an extensive supplement.
Despite some expectations to the contrary, direct Bijvoet X-ray determinations have not completely dominated the field in the last seven years. Chemical correlations continue to be the method of choice for most types of compound except complex natural products; the correlation
charts which are the raison d' etre of this publication continue to prosper , as perusal of the pages
of this supplement will show. Once again, our thanks to those reviewers and correspondents who have sent in their comments on published correlations. Tbere have been relatively few absolute configuration reversals during the last seven years, leading to the presumption that the vast majority of the determinations so far recorded in the Atlas will stand the test of time.Preface to the supplement
