      abstract = {The steric and stereoelectronic effects control the rate  and stereochemical outcome of reactions. Hence, a decent  understanding of the related concepts is essential for  successful synthetic planning. The book attempts to address  several important issues related to these concepts in a  simplified manner, and is intended for graduate students.  It lays stress on the important aspects of steric and  stereoelectronic effects and their control on the  conformational profile and reactivity features. The book  covers the geometrical requirements for reactions at  saturated and unsaturated carbons in both cyclic and  acyclic systems, and the resultant stereochemical features.  The aspect of geometrical flexibility is also covered with  a few examples involving intramolecular reactions. It deals  with the facial selectivity of nucleophilic additions to  acyclic and cyclic carbonyl compounds, and explains how the  steric and stereoelectronic effects control the same. The  work comments on allylic strains and their stereochemical  control on different reactions with the related  conformational control. It is a must read to understand the  control elements, the prominent among these elements are  spiro-conjugation, periselectivity, torquoselectivity,  a-effect, Hammett's substituent constants, Hammond  postulate, and Curtin-Hammett principle.},
